Exegesis
The opening assertion combines egō eimi {Ἐγώ εἰμι | egṓ eimí} ‘I am’ as a present-tense self-identification formula, echoing the divine speech of Exodus.
In context — Matthew 22:32
I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. He is not the God of the dead , but of the living.
