Matthew 22:26 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 22:26

Likewise the second also
The eldest of the surviving brethren, having married his brother's wife, after sometime died also without children, and left her to his next brother to marry her; and the third brother accordingly did marry her, and in process of time died likewise, leaving no issue behind him; and thus they went on in course, unto the seventh: the fourth, fifth, and sixth, married her in turn, and so did the seventh; and all died in the same circumstances, having no children by her.

Matthew 22:26 In-Context

24 They asked, "Teacher, Moses said, If a man who doesn't have children dies, his brother must marry his wife and produce children for his brother.
25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married, then died. Because he had no children he left his widow to his brother.
26 The same thing happened with the second brother and the third, and in fact with all seven brothers.
27 Finally, the woman died.
28 At the resurrection, which of the seven brothers will be her husband? They were all married to her."
