Context of Luke 20:35

33In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For all seven had married her.” 34Jesus told them, “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage. But 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. 37Moses even indicated in the passage about the burning bush that the dead are raised, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.
