None of the seven had children. Finally, the woman died too.

When his time of service was over, ¹  he went to his home.

When the feast was half over, Jesus went up to the temple courts ¹  and began to teach. ² 

(For they did not yet understand ¹  the scripture that Jesus ²  must rise from the dead.) ³ 

They set ¹  a day to meet with him, ²  and they came to him where he was staying ³  in even greater numbers. ⁴  From morning until evening he explained things ⁵  to them, ⁶  testifying ⁷  about the kingdom of God ⁸  and trying to convince ⁹  them about Jesus from both the law of Moses and the prophets.

So then, do not judge anything before the time. Wait until the Lord comes. He will ¹  bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the motives of hearts. Then each will receive recognition ²  from God.
