Luke 20:29

20:29 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman ¹  and died without children.

Luke 20:33

20:33 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? ²  For all seven had married her.” ³

¹ tn Grk “took a wife” (an idiom for marrying a woman).

² sn The point is a dilemma. In a world arguing a person should have one wife, whose wife will she be in the afterlife? The question was designed to show that (in the opinion of the Sadducees) resurrection leads to a major problem.

³ tn Grk “For the seven had her as wife.”
