Contextual Overview

27 Next some of the Sadducees came forward (who deny that there is a Resurrection), and they asked Him, 28 "Rabbi, Moses made it a law for us that if a man's brother should die, leaving a wife but no children, the man shall marry the widow and raise up a family for his brother. 29 Now there were seven brothers. The first of them took a wife and died childless. 30 The second and the third also took her; 31 and all seven, having done the same, left no children when they died. 32 Finally the woman also died. 33 The woman, then--at the Resurrection--whose wife shall she be? for they all seven married her." 34 "The men of this age," replied Jesus, "marry, and the women are given in marriage. 35 But as for those who shall have been deemed worthy to find a place in that other age and in the Resurrection from among the dead, the men do not marry and the women are not given in marriage. 36 For indeed they cannot die again; they are like angels, and are sons of God through being sons of the Resurrection.

And the second took her to wife,.... As he was obliged by the above law, or pluck off the shoe:
