Luke 20:35

35 But people who are considered worthy to come back to life and live in the next world will neither marry

Luke 20:35 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:35

But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that
world
The world to come, eternal life and happiness; not by their own works and merits, but through the blood, sacrifice, and righteousness of the Messiah; and the resurrection from the dead;
that is, the first resurrection, the resurrection unto life, which only the dead in Christ will enjoy; otherwise all will be raised: but some to the resurrection of damnation: these neither marry, nor are given in marriage;
there will be no need of any such practice, for the reasons that follow.

Luke 20:35 In-Context

33 Now, when the dead come back to life, whose wife will she be? The seven brothers had married her."
34 Jesus said to them, "In this world people get married.
35 But people who are considered worthy to come back to life and live in the next world will neither marry
36 nor die anymore. They are the same as the angels. They are God's children who have come back to life.
37 "Even Moses showed in the passage about the bush that the dead come back to life. He says that the Lord is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
