Contextual Overview

27 And there came to him certain of the Sadducees, those denying that there is a resurrection; 28 and they asked him, saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if a man's brother dies, having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed to his brother. 29 There were therefore seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died childless; 30 and the second: 31 and the third took her; and likewise the seven also left no children, and died. 32 Afterward the woman also died. 33 Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife of them shall the woman be? for the seven had her as wife. 34 And Jesus said to them, The sons of this world marry, and are given in marriage: 35 but those that are accounted worthy to attain to that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: 36 for neither can they die anymore: for they are equal to the angels; and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
