Contextual Overview

27 Then came to hym certayne of the saducees, which denie that there is any resurrection, and they asked hym, 28 Saying: Maister, Moyses wrote vnto vs, yf any mans brother dye, hauyng a wyfe, and he dye without chyldren: that then his brother shoulde take his wyfe, & rayse vp seede vnto his brother. 29 There were therfore seuen brethren, and the first toke a wyfe, & dyed without chyldren. 30 And the seconde toke her, and he dyed chyldlesse. 31 And the thirde toke her, & in lykewise the residue of the seuen, and left no chyldren behynde them, and dyed. 32 Last of all, the woman dyed also. 33 Nowe in the resurrection, whose wife of them shall she be? For seuen had her to wyfe. 34 Iesus aunswered and saide vnto the: The chyldren of this worlde marrye wyues, and are marryed: 35 But they which shalbe counted worthy to enioy that worlde, and the resurrection from the dead, do not marrye wyues, neither are marryed, 36 Nor yet can dye any more: For they are equall vnto the angels, and are the sonnes of God, inasmuche as they are chyldren of the resurrection.
