Lukas 10:20

10:20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice that ¹  the spirits submit to you, but rejoice ²  that your names stand written ³  in heaven.”

Lukas 20:35

20:35 But those who are regarded as worthy to share in ⁴  that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. ⁵ 

[10:20]  ¹ tn Grk “do not rejoice in this, that.” This is awkward in contemporary English and has been simplified to “do not rejoice that.”

[10:20]  ² tn The verb here is a present imperative, so the call is to an attitude of rejoicing.

[10:20]  ³ tn The verb here, a perfect tense, stresses a present reality of that which was a completed action, that is, their names were etched in the heavenly stone, as it were.

[20:35]  ⁴ tn Grk “to attain to.”

[20:35]  ⁵ sn 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.
