Read in context

Matthew 22:22–26 · Berean Standard Bible

22 And when they heard this, they were amazed. So they left Him and went away.

23 That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him.

24 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses declared that if a man dies without having children, his brother is to marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.

25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died without having children. So he left his wife to his brother.

26 The same thing happened to the second and third brothers, down to the seventh.
