This verse is part of a larger narrative where the Sadducees, a group of Jewish leaders who did not believe in the resurrection, pose a question to Jesus. They present a hypothetical situation where a woman marries seven brothers, one after the other, as each brother dies childless. Their intention is to challenge Jesus on the concept of resurrection, which they do not accept. The Sadducees ask whose wife she will be in the resurrection, thinking this scenario exposes the absurdity of life after death. Jesus responds by explaining that life in the resurrection is different from earthly life. In the resurrection, people will not marry or be given in marriage; instead, they will be like angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection. This teaching underscores the transformative nature of resurrection life, where earthly concerns and relationships are surpassed by a new, eternal existence with God. Jesus' response not only addresses the Sadducees' challenge but also offers hope and assurance of a life beyond this one, where believers are united with God in a new and glorious way.
Finally, the woman died too.
