Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) Why seek ye the living among the dead?--Better, as in the margin, Him that liveth. The question was enough to change the whole current of their thoughts. The Lord whom they came to honour as dead was in very deed "living," was emphatically "He that liveth," alive for evermore (Revelation 1:18). The primary meaning of the words is, of course, limited to this; but like the parallel, "let the dead bury their dead" (see Note on Matthew 8:22), they suggest manifold applications. It is in vain that we seek "Him that liveth" in dead works, dead formulae, dead or dying institutions. The eternal life that is in Christ is not to be found by looking into the graves of the past in the world's history, or in those of our individual life. In both cases it is better to rise, as on the "stepping-stones of our dead selves," to "higher things."Parallel Commentaries ...GreekAsδὲ (de)ConjunctionStrong's 1161: A primary particle; but, and, etc.[the women]αὐτῶν (autōn)Personal / Possessive Pronoun - Genitive Feminine 3rd Person PluralStrong's 846: He, she, it, they, them, same.
