Mark 12:20

Read in context

Mark 12:18–22 · Berean Standard Bible

18 Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:

19 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.

20 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.

21 Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.

22 In this way, none of the seven left any children. And last of all, the woman died.
