But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,

📚 Historical Context
In the historical context of Matthew 22, Jesus was in Jerusalem during His final week of ministry, engaging in debates with religious leaders in the temple. The Sadducees, a group that rejected the idea of resurrection and focused only on the first five books of the Old Testament, challenged Jesus with a hypothetical question about marriage after death to undermine His teachings. Jesus responded by referring to Exodus 3:6, where God identifies Himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to prove that the dead will rise because God is the God of the living.
