Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

UGNT ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Θεὸς Ἀβραὰμ, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσαὰκ, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς Ἰακώβ? οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ Θεὸς νεκρῶν, ἀλλὰ ζώντων.

22:23-33 The resurrection was an important issue of Jesus’ day, but the question was raised only to trap Jesus.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Θεὸς Ἀβραὰμ, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσαὰκ, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς Ἰακώβ
I am the God ˱of˲_Abraham and the God ˱of˲_Isaac and the God ˱of˲_Jacob
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation, with no comma at the end of verse 31: “that he is the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
ὁ Θεὸς Ἀβραὰμ, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσαὰκ, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς Ἰακώβ
the God ˱of˲_Abraham and the God ˱of˲_Isaac and the God ˱of˲_Jacob
Here, the author of the quotation is using the possessive form to describe the God whom Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob worship. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the God that Abraham honors, and the God that Isaac honors, and the God that Jacob honors]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ Θεὸς νεκρῶν, ἀλλὰ ζώντων
not is ¬The God ˱of˲_/the/_dead but ˱of˲_/the/_living
Jesus is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [God is not the God of the dead, but he is the God of the living]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ Θεὸς νεκρῶν, ἀλλὰ ζώντων
not is ¬The God ˱of˲_/the/_dead but ˱of˲_/the/_living
Here Jesus implies that, although Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had already died by the time God spoke these words, God still called himself their God. Since God is not of the dead, but of the living, this means that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob must be alive again. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [God is not of the dead, but of the living, so Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob must live again after they died]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
οὐκ & νεκρῶν, ἀλλὰ ζώντων
not & ˱of˲_/the/_dead but ˱of˲_/the/_living
If your language would not naturally put the negative statement before the positive statement, you could reverse the two phrases here. Alternate translation: [of the living, not of the dead]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
νεκρῶν, ἀλλὰ ζώντων
˱of˲_/the/_dead but ˱of˲_/the/_living
Here, Jesus is using the possessive form to describe the God whom the living, not the dead, worship. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [honored by the dead, but by the living]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
νεκρῶν & ζώντων
˱of˲_/the/_dead & ˱of˲_/the/_living
Jesus is using the adjectives dead and living as nouns to mean people who are dead and living. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: [of dead people … of living people]
