Footnotes

  1. 78 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate that Jesus’ response is a result of their framing of the question.
  2. 79 Grk “sons of this age” (an idiom, see L&N 11.16). The following clause which refers to being “given in marriage” suggests both men and women are included in this phrase.
  3. 80 Grk “to attain to.”
  4. 81 Life in the age to come is different than life here (they neither marry nor are given in marriage). This means Jesus’ questioners had made a false assumption that life was the same both now and in the age to come.
