Exegesis
The adversative conjunction alla {ἀλλὰ | allà} “but” introduces a parallel genitive zōntōn {ζώντων | zōn-tōn} “of the living,” setting up an antithesis that highlights God’s living relationship to the patriarchs.
In context — Luke 20:38
But He is not God of the dead but of the living; for all live to Him.
