26 Jesus' enemies could not catch him saying anything wrong there in front of the people. They were amazed at his answer and kept quiet.
27 The Sadducees did not believe that people would rise to life after death. So some of them came to Jesus
28 and said:Teacher, Moses wrote that if a married man dies and has no children, his brother should marry the widow. Their first son would then be thought of as the son of the dead brother.
29 There were once seven brothers. The first one married, but died without having any children.
30 The second one married his brother's widow, and he also died without having any children.
31 The same thing happened to the third one. Finally, all seven brothers married that woman and died without having any children.
32 At last the woman died.
