Luke 20:30 In-Context

28 and said, Master, Moses wrote to us, if the brother of any man have a wife, and he be dead, and he was without heirs [saying, Master, Moses wrote to us, if the brother of any man having a wife died, and he was without free children], that his brother take his wife, and raise seed to his brother.
29 And so there were seven brethren. The first took a wife, and is dead without heirs; [There were therefore seven brethren. The first took a wife, and is dead, without free children;]
30 and the brother following took her [and the second took her], and he is dead without son;
31 and the third took her; also and all seven, and they left not seed [and left no seed], but be dead;
32 and the last of all the woman is dead. [the last of all and the woman is dead.]
