Commentators agree that this verse champions the sufficiency of Scripture. Abraham's point is that if a person rejects the clear teachings of 'Moses and the prophets' (the Old Testament), then no miracle, not even someone returning from the dead, will be enough to persuade them. God's written Word is the primary and sufficient means He uses to call people to repentance.
