Luke 20:34

Read in context

Luke 20:32–36 · Berean Standard Bible

32 And last of all, the woman died.

33 So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

34 Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

35 But those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage.

36 In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God.
