Luc 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.

Luc 20:34 In-Context

32 Après eux tous la femme mourut aussi.

33 Duquel donc d'entre eux sera-t-elle femme à la résurrection? Car les sept l'ont épousée.

34 Jésus leur répondit: Les enfants de ce siècle se marient, et donnent en mariage.

35 Mais ceux qui seront jugés dignes d'avoir part au siècle à venir et à la résurrection des morts, ne se marieront ni ne donneront en mariage.

36 Car ils ne pourront non plus mourir, parce qu'ils seront semblables aux anges, et qu'ils seront enfants de Dieu, étant enfants de la résurrection.
