Context of Matthew 22:28
26It was the same also with the second brother, and the third, down to the seventh. 27Last of all, the woman died. In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her in marriage.” 29But Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, since you do not understand the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 23-33Verses 23-33 The doctrines of Christ displeased the infidel Sadducees, as well as the Pharisees and Herodians.
