Some Sadducees Try to Trick Jesus^(A)

¹⁸ Then some Sadducees came to Jesus and asked him a question. (Sadducees believed that people would not rise from the dead.) ¹⁹ They said, “Teacher, Moses wrote that if a man’s brother dies, leaving a wife but no children, then that man must marry the widow and ·have children [^Lraise up offspring/seed] for his brother [Deut. 25:5]. ²⁰ Once there were seven brothers. The first brother ·married [^Ltook a wife] and died, leaving no children.
