Mark 12:22 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 12:22

And the seventh had her, and left no seed
All, the seven brethren married her, one after another, and neither of them had any children by her:

and last of all the woman died also;
after all the seven brethren, to whom she had been married.

Mark 12:22 In-Context

20 Well, there once were seven brothers. The first took a wife. He died childless.
21 The second married her. He died, and still no child. The same with the third.
22 All seven took their turn, but no child. Finally the wife died.
23 When they are raised at the resurrection, whose wife is she? All seven were her husband."
24 Jesus said, "You're way off base, and here's why: One, you don't know your Bibles; two, you don't know how God works.
