Luke 20:35

Listen to Luke 20:35
35 but those judged worthy of the age to come, and of resurrection from the dead, do not get married,

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 In the Resurrection, which one's wife will she be? For all seven were married to her."
34 Yeshua said to them, "In this age, men and women marry;
35 but those judged worthy of the age to come, and of resurrection from the dead, do not get married,
36 because they can no longer die. Being children of the Resurrection, they are like angels; indeed, they are children of God.
37 "But even Moshe showed that the dead are raised; for in the passage about the bush, he calls ADONAI `the God of Avraham, the God of Yitz'chak and the God of Ya`akov.'
