Context of Luke 20:34

32Finally, the woman died too. 33In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For all seven had married her.” Jesus told them, “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35But those who are counted worthy to take part in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. 36For they can no longer die, because they are like angels and are children of God, since they are children of the resurrection.
