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 Next some of the Sadducees came forward (who deny that there is a Resurrection), and they asked Him,

28 "Rabbi, Moses made it a law for us that if a man's brother should die, leaving a wife but no children, the man shall marry the widow and raise up a family for his brother.

29 Now there were seven brothers. The first of them took a wife and died childless.

30 The second and the third also took her;

31 and all seven, having done the same, left no children when they died.
