The concept of being "considered worthy" aligns with the parable of the wedding banquet (<a href="/matthew/22.htm">Matthew 22:1-14</a>), where only those who respond appropriately to God's invitation are allowed to enter.to share in the age to come The "age to come" refers to the eschatological future, a time of fulfillment of God's promises. This is a common theme in Jewish eschatology, where the present age is contrasted with the future age of God's kingdom (<a href="/hebrews/6-5.htm">Hebrews 6:5</a>). The age to come is characterized by the reign of God, peace, and righteousness (<a href="/isaiah/65-17.htm">Isaiah 65:17-25</a>).and in the resurrection from the dead The resurrection is a core Christian doctrine, affirming life after death and the ultimate victory over sin and death (<a href="/1_corinthians/15-20.htm">1 Corinthians 15:20-22</a>). This belief is rooted in Jewish thought, as seen in <a href="/daniel/12-2.htm">Daniel 12:2</a>, and is fulfilled in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is the "firstfruits" of those who have fallen asleep (<a href="/1_corinthians/15-20.htm">1 Corinthians 15:20</a>).will neither marry nor be given in marriage This phrase indicates a change in social structures in the age to come. Marriage, a fundamental institution in earthly life, will not be necessary in the resurrection. This reflects a transformation of relationships, where earthly ties are transcended by a direct relationship with God (<a href="/matthew/22-30.htm">Matthew 22:30</a>). The absence of marriage in the resurrection highlights the sufficiency of God's presence and the fulfillment of all needs in Him.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a> The central figure in this passage, providing teaching on the resurrection and the age to come. 2. <a href="/topical/s/sadducees.htm">Sadducees</a> A Jewish sect that denied the resurrection, prompting Jesus' teaching in this passage. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_age_to_come.htm">The Age to Come</a> Refers to the future era of God's kingdom, characterized by the resurrection and eternal life. 4. <a href="/topical/r/resurrection_from_the_dead.htm">Resurrection from the Dead</a> A key event in Christian eschatology, where believers are raised to eternal life. 5. <a href="/topical/m/marriage.htm">Marriage</a> A temporal institution that Jesus explains will not exist in the same form in the age to come.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/u/understanding_the_resurrection.htm">Understanding the Resurrection</a> The resurrection is a transformative event that changes our existence from temporal to eternal. <a href="/topical/e/eternal_perspective.htm">Eternal Perspective</a> Believers are called to live with an eternal perspective, valuing eternal life over earthly institutions. <a href="/topical/w/worthy_of_the_age_to_come.htm">Worthy of the Age to Come</a> Worthiness is not based on human merit but on faith in Christ and His redemptive work. <a href="/topical/m/marriage_and_eternal_life.htm">Marriage and Eternal Life</a> Earthly relationships, including marriage, are temporary and serve a purpose in this life but will be transcended in the age to come. <a href="/topical/h/hope_in_the_resurrection.htm">Hope in the Resurrection</a> The promise of resurrection provides hope and encouragement to live faithfully in the present.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_luke_20.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Luke 20</a> <a href="/q/what_embodies_the_essence_of_power.htm">Are they like God's angels in heaven?</a> <a href="/q/are_they_like_god's_angels_in_heaven.htm">Are they like God's angels in heaven?</a> <a href="/q/how_is_jesus_portrayed_in_films.htm">Will there be marriage in the afterlife?</a> <a href="/q/mark_12_25__are_earthly_ties_less_vital.htm">Mark 12:25: If people “neither marry nor are given in marriage” in the resurrection, what does that mean for the importance of earthly relationships? </a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/luke/20.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(35) They which shall be accounted worthy.--Another word common to St. Luke and St. Paul (<a href="/2_thessalonians/1-5.htm" title="Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer:">2Thessalonians 1:5</a>), and to them only in the New Testament. <a href="/commentaries/luke/20-35.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>But δὲ (de) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_1161.htm">Strong's 1161: </a> A primary particle; but, and, etc. those who are οἱ (hoi) Article - Nominative Masculine Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> The, the definite article.
