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 died too.

33 Now then, when the dead rise, whose wife will she be? All seven brothers were married to her."

34 Jesus replied, "People in this world get married. And their parents give them to get married.

35 But it will not be like that when the dead rise. Those who are considered worthy to take part in what happens at that time won't get married. And their parents won't give them to be married.

36 They can't die anymore. They are like the angels. They are God's children. They will be given a new form of life when the dead rise.
