Markus 12:27

12:27 He is not the God of the dead but of the living. ¹  You are badly mistaken!”

Markus 13:5

13:5 Jesus began to say to them, “Watch out ²  that no one misleads you.

[12:27]  ¹ sn He is not God of the dead but of the living. Jesus’ point was that if God could identify himself as God of the three old patriarchs, then they must still be alive when God spoke to Moses; and so they must be raised.

[13:5]  ² tn Or “Be on guard.”
