Discovery BoxLuke 16:31 
Context16:31 He 1 replied to him, ‘If they do not respond to 2 Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’” 3
Luke 20:6
Context20:6 But if we say, ‘From people,’ all the people will stone us, because they are convinced that John was a prophet.”
1 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
2 tn Or “obey”; Grk “hear.” See the note on the phrase “respond to” in v. 29.
3 sn The concluding statement of the parable, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead, provides a hint that even Jesus’ resurrection will not help some to respond. The message of God should be good enough. Scripture is the sign to be heeded.
