Context of Luke 20:31

29There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children. 30And the second took her to wife, and he died childless. And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died. 32Last of all the woman died also. 33Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
