Luke 20:34

34 et ait illis Iesus filii saeculi huius nubunt et traduntur ad nuptias

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 novissima omnium mortua est et mulier

33 in resurrectione ergo cuius eorum erit uxor siquidem septem habuerunt eam uxorem

34 et ait illis Iesus filii saeculi huius nubunt et traduntur ad nuptias

35 illi autem qui digni habebuntur saeculo illo et resurrectione ex mortuis neque nubunt neque ducunt uxores

36 neque enim ultra mori poterunt aequales enim angelis sunt et filii sunt Dei cum sint filii resurrectionis
