Context of Luke 20:35

33So in the resurrection, whose wife is she? For all seven had married her.” 34Yeshua said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage. But those considered worthy to reach the olam ha-ba and the resurrection of the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. 36For they can no longer die, because they are like angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. 37But at the burning bush even Moses revealed that the dead are raised, when he calls Adonai ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
