Luke 20:29 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:29

There were therefore seven brethren
In the place where these Sadducees dwelt; or, however, that were known by them; at least they supposed such a case, and it might be fact: and the first took a wife, and died without children;
son or daughter, and so had none to keep up his name, and to possess his inheritance.

Luke 20:29 In-Context

27 Then came to [him] certain of the Sadducees (who deny that there is any resurrection) and they asked him,

28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote to us, If any man's brother should die, having a wife, and he should die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.

29 There were therefore seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

30 And the second took her for a wife, and he died childless.

31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: And they left no children, and died.
