'Living' in the Bible

So the Pharisees and scribes asked Jesus, “Why do Your disciples not live their lives according to the tradition of the elders, but [instead] eat their bread with [ceremonially] unwashed hands?”

He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; you are greatly mistaken and you are deceiving yourselves!”

I assure you and most solemnly say to you, this generation [the people living when these signs and events begin] will not pass away until all these things take place.
