Exegesis
The coordinated verbs gamousin {γαμοῦσιν | ga-moû-sin} ‘they marry’ (active) and gamiskontai {γαμίσκονται | ga-mís-kon-tai} ‘they are given in marriage’ (passive) form a balanced pair that reflects the mutual roles in marriage arrangements. In English, the clause is rendered with a straightforward subject–verb sequence, preserving the temporal frame “of this age” as the key qualifier of those who participate in ordinary marriage patterns.
In context — Luke 20:34
And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.”
