Context of Luke 20:31

29But once there were seven brothers. The oldest brother married a woman. Then he died before they had any children. 30So the second brother married this woman. But he also died without children. Then the third brother married the woman. The same thing happened to all seven brothers. They all died but they had no children. 32After all this, the woman also died. 33You teach that one day dead people will become alive again. So, on that day, whose wife will the woman be? She had married all seven of those brothers.’

But we wrong ourselves, and wrong the truth of Christ, when we form our notions of the world of spirits by this world of sense.
