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 Some Sadducees, who say that people will never come back to life, came to Jesus. They asked him,

28 "Teacher, Moses wrote for us, 'If a married man dies and has no children, his brother should marry his widow and have children for his brother.'

29 There were seven brothers. The first got married and died without having children.

30 Then the second brother married the widow,

31 and so did the third. In the same way all seven brothers married the widow, died, and left no children.
