TSNTyndale Study Notes:

20:36 In this respect they will be like angels: Angels are not married, and they are immortal. The Bible never teaches that people become angels (cp. Heb 1:5–2:18), but that we will be like them.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐδὲ & ἀποθανεῖν ἔτι δύνανται

not & /to/_die_off anymore ˱they˲_/are/_being_able

The implication is that these people will not need to get married and have children anymore in order to carry on the human race, because they will not die. Alternate translation: “they will not need to have children anymore, since they will not die”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἰσάγγελοι γάρ εἰσιν

angel-like for ˱they˲_are

Jesus assumes that his listeners will know that angels do not die. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “because they will be like the angels, who do not die”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

υἱοί εἰσιν Θεοῦ

sons ˱they˲_are ˱of˲_God

Here Jesus is using the term sons in a generic sense that includes both men and women. Alternate translation: “they are God’s own children”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τῆς ἀναστάσεως υἱοὶ ὄντες

˱of˲_the resurrection sons being

Jesus is using the term sons in this second case to mean people who share the qualities of something. In this case, Jesus is describing people who share the quality of God bringing them back to life after they have died. Alternate translation: “since God has brought them back to life”
