Context of Luke 20:27

25“Well then,” he told them, “give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” 26They were not able to catch him in what he said in public, and being amazed at his answer, they became silent. Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came up and questioned him: 28“Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother has a wife, and dies childless, his brother should take the wife and produce offspring for his brother. 29Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife and died without children.
