Marc 12:20

Listen to Marc 12:20
20 Or, il y avait sept frères. Le premier ayant épousé une femme, mourut et ne laissa point d'enfants.

Marc 12:20 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 12:20

Now there were seven brethren
In a certain family, at a certain place; perhaps at Jerusalem, who were brethren by the father's side; for such only were reckoned so, and such only did this law oblige:

and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed:
no child: hence it is clear that the ancient Jews used the word seed, of a single person, as these Sadducees did; though modern ones deny such an use of it in our present controversies with them about the sense of ( Genesis 3:15 ) ( 22:18 ) ; (See Gill on Matthew 22:25).

Marc 12:20 In-Context

18 Ensuite les sadducéens, qui disent qu'il n'y a point de résurrection, le vinrent trouver, et lui firent cette question:
19 Maître, Moïse nous a ordonné que si le frère de quelqu'un meurt, et laisse sa femme sans enfants, son frère épousera sa veuve, pour susciter lignée à son frère.
20 Or, il y avait sept frères. Le premier ayant épousé une femme, mourut et ne laissa point d'enfants.
21 Le second l'épousa, et mourut, et ne laissa point non plus d'enfants. Et le troisième de même.
22 Tous les sept l'épousèrent et ne laissèrent point d'enfants. Et la femme mourut aussi, la dernière de tous.
