馬太福音 22:25 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 22:25

Now there were with us seven brethren
That is, there was in the city, town or neighbourhood, where these Sadducees dwelt, probably at Jerusalem, a family, in which were seven sons, all brethren by the father's side; for brethren by the mother's side were not counted brethren, nor obliged by this law ^F1; whether this was a reigned case which is here and in the following verses put, or whether it was real fact, which is possible, it matters not: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and having no issue, left his wife unto his brother: the eldest of these seven brethren married a wife, and after some time died, having no children, son or daughter, by his wife; and therefore, according to the above law, leaves her to his next brother to marry her, and raise up seed unto him; which, according to the Jewish canons ^F2, could not be done before ninety days, or three months after the decease of his brother; for so long they were to wait and see, whether she was with child by his brother or not; for if she was, it was not necessary, yea, it was unlawful for him to marry her.

馬太福音 22:25 In-Context

23 撒 都 該 人 常 說 沒 有 復 活 的 事 。 那 天 ， 他 們 來 問 耶 穌 說 ：

24 夫 子 ， 摩 西 說 ： 人 若 死 了 ， 沒 有 孩 子 ， 他 兄 弟 當 娶 他 的 妻 ， 為 哥 哥 生 子 立 後 。

25 從 前 ， 在 我 們 這 裡 有 弟 兄 七 人 ， 第 一 個 娶 了 妻 ， 死 了 ， 沒 有 孩 子 ， 撇 下 妻 子 給 兄 弟 。

26 第 二 、 第 三 、 直 到 第 七 個 ， 都 是 如 此 。

27 末 後 ， 婦 人 也 死 了 。
