Luke 20:33

33 Now, when the dead come back to life, whose wife will she be? The seven brothers had married 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 so did the third. In the same way all seven brothers married the widow, died, and left no children.
32 Finally, the woman died.
33 Now, when the dead come back to life, whose wife will she be? The seven brothers had married her."
34 Jesus said to them, "In this world people get married.
35 But people who are considered worthy to come back to life and live in the next world will neither marry
