Bible verse
Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.
Mark 12:20 · BSB
The verses around it, from Mark 12.
16 So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.
17 Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.
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.
23 In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”
24 Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?
