Luke 20:33

33 Since all seven brothers had married her, whose wife will she be when people rise from the dead?"

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 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.
