Exegesis
The present passive indicative egeirontai {ἐγείρονται | e-geí-ron-tai} with the nominative subject hoi nekroi {οἱ νεκροὶ | hoi ne-kroì} forms the core statement “the dead are raised,” presenting resurrection as a general, ongoing divine action rather than a purely future event.
In context — Luke 20:37
But that the dead are raised, even Moses declared at the bush as he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.
