Luke 20:28 in context

The verses around it, from Luke 20.

24 “Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

25 So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

26 And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people; and amazed at His answer, they fell silent.

27 Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.

28 “Teacher,” they said, “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.

29 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife, but died childless.

30 Then the second

31 and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

32 And last of all, the woman died.
