Luke 20:30 In-Context

28 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.

29 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.

30 Then the second

31 and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

32 And last of all, the woman died.
