“Teacher,” they said, “Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.

The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh.

saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.’

So too the second and third, down to the seventh.

“Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies without children, his brother should marry the widow and have a child who will carry on the brother’s name.’

But the second brother also died, and the third brother married her. This continued with all seven of them.

“Teacher, Moses said, if a man dies, having no children, his brother is to marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.  

The same thing happened to the second also, and the third, and so on to all seven.

saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.

saying: “Teacher, Moses said that if a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.

Likewise the second also, and the third, even to the seventh.

That same day, Sadducees approached him. This is the party that denies any possibility of resurrection. They asked, “Teacher, Moses said that if a man dies childless, his brother is obligated to marry his widow and father a child with her. Here’s a case where there were seven brothers. The first brother married and died, leaving no child, and his wife passed to his brother. The second brother also left her childless, then the third—and on and on, all seven. Eventually the wife died. Now here’s our question: At the resurrection, whose wife is she? She was a wife to each of them.”

saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother as next of kin shall marry his wife, and raise up children for his brother.’

It was the same also with the second brother, and the third, down to the seventh.

saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘IF A MAN DIES, LEAVING NO CHILDREN, HIS BROTHER AS NEXT OF KIN SHALL MARRY HIS WIDOW, AND RAISE CHILDREN FOR HIS BROTHER.’ [Deut 25:5]

The second also [died childless], and the third, down to the seventh.

“Teacher, Moses said, ‘ If a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and father children for his brother .’

The second did the same, and the third, down to the seventh.
