Contextual Overview
27 And some of the Sadducees coming up, those speaking against a resurrection, that it was not to be, they questioned Him, 28 saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If anyone's brother dies having a wife, and this one should die childless, that his brother should take the wife and raise up seed to his brother. Deut. 25:5 29 Then there were seven brothers. And having taken a wife, the first died childless. 30 And the second took the wife, and this one died childless. 31 And the third took her, and likewise also the seven did not leave children, and died. 32 And last of all the woman died. 33 Then in the resurrection, of which of them does she become wife? For the seven had her as wife. 34 And answering, Jesus said to them, The sons of this world marry and are given in marriage. 35 But those counted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage. 36 For they are not able to die any more; they are equal to angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
