The Sadducees continue speaking and tell Jesus a story.
|
|
|
|
## There were seven brothers ##
|
|
|
|
This may have happened, but it is probably a story that they made up to test Jesus.
|
|
|
|
## died childless ##
|
|
|
|
"died without having any children" or "died, but did not have any children"
|
|
|
|
## the second as well ##
|
|
|
|
This can be translated as "the second married her and the same thing happened" or "the second brother married her and died without having any children."
|
|
|
|
## The third took her ##
|
|
|
|
"the third married her"
|
|
|
|
## likewise the seven also left no children, and died ##
|
|
|
|
This can be translated as "in the same way the rest of the seven brothers married her and had no children and died."
|
|
|
|
## In the resurrection ##
|
|
|
|
"when people are raised from the dead" or "when dead people will become alive again" (UDB). Some languages have a way of showing that the Sadducees did not believe that there would be a resurrection, such as "In the supposed resurrection" or "When dead people are supposedly raised from the dead." |
