Contextual Overview

27Now some of the Sadducees (who say that there is no resurrection) came to Him 28and they questioned Him, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us [a law that] IF A MAN'S BROTHER DIES, leaving a wife AND NO CHILDREN, HIS BROTHER SHOULD MARRY THE WIFE AND RAISE CHILDREN FOR HIS BROTHER. 29"Now there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife and died childless. 30"And the second, 31and the third married her, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children. 32"Finally the woman also died. 33"So in the [life after] resurrection, whose wife does she become? For all seven had married her." 34Jesus said to them, "The sons of this [world and present] age marry and [the women] are given in marriage; 35but those who are considered worthy to gain that [other world and that future] age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;36and they cannot die again, because they are [immortal] like the angels (equal to, angel-like). And they are children of God, being participants in the resurrection.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world,.... The world to come, eternal life and happiness; not by their own works and merits, but through the blood, sacrifice, and righteousness of the Messiah;

and the resurrection from the dead; that is, the first resurrection, the resurrection unto life, which only the dead in Christ will enjoy; otherwise all will be raised: but some to the resurrection of damnation:

these neither marry, nor are given in marriage; there will be no need of any such practice, for the reasons that follow.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See this explained in the Matthew 22:15-33 notes, and Mark 12:13-27 notes.
