Luke 20:33

33 Now then, when the dead rise, whose wife will she be? All seven brothers were married to her."

Luke 20:33 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:33

Therefore in the resurrection
At the time of the resurrection of the dead, in that state, supposing there will be such an one, which they denied; whose wife of them is she?
the first, or the last, or any of the intermediate ones? for seven had her to wife;
and she had no child by either of them; so that their claim seems to be alike; this they thought unanswerable, and sufficient to set aside the notion of a resurrection.

Luke 20:33 In-Context

31 And then the third one got married to her. One after another, the seven brothers got married to her. They all died. None left any children.

32 Finally, the woman died too.

33 Now then, when the dead rise, whose wife will she be? All seven brothers were married to her."

34 Jesus replied, "People in this world get married. And their parents give them to get married.

35 But it will not be like that when the dead rise. Those who are considered worthy to take part in what happens at that time won't get married. And their parents won't give them to be married.
