Context of Luke 20:34

32and last of all the woman also died. 33In the resurrection therefore of which of them does she become wife, for the seven had her as wife? And Jesus said to them, The sons of this world marry and are given in marriage, 35but they who are counted worthy to have part in that world, and the resurrection from among [the] dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; 36for neither can they die any more, for they are equal to angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
