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?

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.
