Luke 20:33

33 In the resurrection, whose wife will she be? All seven were married to her."

Luke 20:33 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:33

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.

Luke 20:33 In-Context

31 and then the third brother married her. Eventually all seven married her, and they all died without leaving any children.
32 Finally, the woman died too.
33 In the resurrection, whose wife will she be? All seven were married to her."
34 Jesus said to them, "People who belong to this age marry and are given in marriage.
35 But those who are considered worthy to participate in that age, that is, in the age of the resurrection from the dead, won't marry nor will they be given in marriage.
