174:3.1 Before [[Jesus]] could get started with his [[teaching]], another [[group]] came forward to [[question]] him, this time a company of the [[learned]] and crafty [[Sadducees]]. Their [[spokesman]], drawing near to him, said: " Master, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses] said that if a [[married]] man should [[die]], leaving no [[children]], his [[brother]] should take the [[wife]] and raise up seed for the deceased brother.[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Deuteronomy#Chapter_.25] Now there occurred a case where a certain man who had six [[brothers]] died childless; his next brother took his [[wife]] but also soon died, leaving no [[children]]. Likewise did the second [[brother]] take the [[wife]], but he also died leaving no offspring. And so on until all six of the brothers had had her, and all six of them passed on without leaving [[children]]. And then, after them all, the [[woman]] herself died. Now, what we would like to ask you is this: In the [[resurrection]] whose [[wife]] will she be since all [[seven]] of these [[brothers]] had her? "

174:3.2 Jesus knew, and so did the people, that these [[Sadducees]] were not [[sincere]] in asking this [[question]] because it was not likely that such a case would really occur; and besides, this [[practice]] of the [[brothers]] of a [[dead]] man seeking to beget [[children]] for him was practically a [http://www.thefreedictionary.com/dead+letter dead letter] at this time among the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews Jews].

174:3.3 When [[Jesus]] had finished answering these [[questions]], the [[Sadducees]] withdrew, and some of the [[Pharisees]] so far forgot themselves as to exclaim, " True, true, Master, you have well answered these unbelieving [[Sadducees]]. " The Sadducees [[dared]] not ask him any more [[questions]], and the [[common people]] [[marveled]] at the [[wisdom]] of his teaching.
