Contextual Overview
27 Some Sadducees, who believed people would not rise from the dead, came to Jesus. 28 They asked, "Teacher, Moses wrote that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, then that man must marry the widow and have children for his brother. 29 Once there were seven brothers. The first brother married and died, but had no children. 30 Then the second brother married the widow, and he died. 31 And the third brother married the widow, and he died. The same thing happened with all seven brothers; they died and had no children. 32 Finally, the woman died also. 33 Since all seven brothers had married her, whose wife will she be when people rise from the dead?" 34 Jesus said to them, "On earth, people marry and are given to someone to marry. 35 But those who will be worthy to be raised from the dead and live again will not marry, nor will they be given to someone to marry. 36 In that life they are like angels and cannot die. They are children of God, because they have been raised from the dead.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Matthew 22:24-28, Mark 12:19-23
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Therefore in the resurrection,.... At the time of the resurrection of the dead, in that state, supposing there will be such an one, which they denied;
whose wife of them is she? the first, or the last, or any of the intermediate ones?
for seven had her to wife; and she had no child by either of them; so that their claim seems to be alike; this they thought unanswerable, and sufficient to set aside the notion of a resurrection.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See this explained in the Matthew 22:15-33 notes, and Mark 12:13-27 notes.
