This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Luk 20:35. Καταξιωθέντες, who are accounted worthy) Truly a great dignity conferred. So ch. Luk 21:36 [ἴνα καταξιωθῆτε, “that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things-and to stand before the Son of man”].-τοῦ αἰῶνος ἐκείνου, καὶ τῆς ἀναστάσεως, that world, and the resurrection) Therefore even before the resurrection an entrance is given into that world.-ἐκ νεκρῶν, out from the dead) All shall rise again; but the godly shall rise again out from among the ungodly.[217] As to these latter, there is not preached and declared the resurrection, but a more profound death of the soul conjoined with the body. So Act 4:2.[218]
[217] In reference to which fact, the term ἐξανάστασις is used by Paul (not merely ἀνάστασις), Php 3:11, to express his great hope.-E. and T.
[218] Τὴν ἀνάστασιν τὴν ἐκ νεκρῶν. However the word resurrection, ἀνάστασιν, is applied to the unjust as well as to the just, Act 24:15, though not with the addition, ἐκ νεκρῶν, out from the dead.-E. and T.
