25 He said to them, "Did you never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry--he, and they who were with him?

But about the dead, that they are raised; haven't you read in the book of Moses, about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?'
