Luke 20:34

οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου, i.e. all who live in the present dispensation. In Luke 16:8 the sense is more special. Here, as often elsewhere, the word rendered ‘world’ is αἰών, which properly means ‘age.’ It is not the κόσμος or material Universe, but the Universe regarded subjectively, i.e. the Time-world.
