Context of Luke 20:27

25So he said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” 26Thus they were unable in the presence of the people to trap him with his own words. And stunned by his answer, they fell silent. Now some Sadducees (who contend that there is no resurrection) came to him. 28They asked him, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies leaving a wife but no children, that man must marry the widow and father children for his brother. 29Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman and died without children.
