Luke 20:34 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:34

And Jesus answering, said unto them
After he had observed that their error arose from ignorance of the Scriptures, and the power of God: the children of this world marry, and are given in marriage
that is, such who live in this world, in the present mortal and imperfect state, being mortal men, and die, and leave their estates and possessions: these marry, and have wives given them in marriage; and it is very right, and fit, that so it should be, in order to keep up a succession of men, and that they may have heirs to enjoy their substance when they are gone.

Luke 20:34 In-Context

32 Finally the woman also died.

33 Therefore in the resurrection, the woman--whose wife will she be? For the seven had her [as] wife."

34 And Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,

35 but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and [to] the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage,

36 for they are not even able to die any longer, because they are like the angels and are sons of God, [because they] are sons of the resurrection.
