Luke 20:33

33 So tell us, whose wife will she be in the resurrection? For all seven 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 Then the third brother married her. This continued with all seven of them, who died without children.

32 Finally, the woman also died.

33 So tell us, whose wife will she be in the resurrection? For all seven were married to her!”

34 Jesus replied, “Marriage is for people here on earth.

35 But in the age to come, those worthy of being raised from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage.
