Context of Matthew 22:28

26The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh. 27Finally, the woman died. Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?” 29Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. 30At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
