Context of Luke 20:35

33Now, when the dead come back to life, whose wife will she be? The seven brothers had married her.” 34Jesus said to them, “In this world people get married. But people who are considered worthy to come back to life and live in the next world will neither marry 36nor die anymore. They are the same as the angels. They are God’s children who have come back to life. 37“Even Moses showed in the passage about the bush that the dead come back to life. He says that the Lord is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
