Luke 20:33

33 That wife, now - in the resurrection whose wife is she? All seven 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 then the third, and eventually all seven had their turn, but no child.
32 After all that, the wife died.
33 That wife, now - in the resurrection whose wife is she? All seven married her."
34 Jesus said, "Marriage is a major preoccupation here,
35 but not there. Those who are included in the resurrection of the dead will no longer be concerned with marriage
