"And Jesus answering, said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: 35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: 36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection."
Now, to understand the full import of that Scripture, you will need your Strong's Concordance. Look up the word "world" in verse 34 and verse 35. The word "aion" is used, which should have been translated "age." Jesus said that there is an age after the resurrection from the dead.
Then there is another scripture that has
not been translated correctly in any of the Bibles I have checked.
These include the KJV, NASB, NIV, NENT, Living, RSV and others. The
scripture is Acts 24:15.
In the KJV it says, "And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust."
Well that's nice, but it does not give the full import of the Greek text. Here is the rendering of the Greek to English in an Interlinear: "I confess but this to you, that according to the way which they say (is) a sect, thus I worship the ancestral God, believing all the things as to the Law and the Prophets having been written having hope toward God, which also these admit, a resurrection being about to beof (the) dead of both just and unjust."
There is a lot of difference between "there shall be" and "about to be." One is something that could happen anytime and the other is something that will happen very soon. When this statement was made, sometimes before A.D. 70, there was about to be a resurrection.
Berry's Interlinear renders it this way: "a hope having in God, which also they themselves receive, [that] a resurrection is about to be of [the] dead, both of just and unjust."
That's what it says in the Greek text. Check any Interlinear and you will see.
If you believe the scriptures, there was a resurrection of many of the saints of old whose graves burst open when Jesus was crucified and they came out of their graves after the resurrection of Jesus and were seen of many in the city. Jesus is the resurrection and the life. A resurrection around A.D. 70 makes perfectly good sense.
