Matthew 22:26 meaning and explanation
The same thing happened to the second and third brothers, down to the seventh.
Matthew 22:26, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
The Sadducees, who deny the resurrection, are testing Jesus with a hypothetical case built on the levirate law of Deuteronomy 25:5, where a childless widow is married to her husband's brother to raise up offspring. Verse 26 simply continues the chain: the second and third brothers, and so on to the seventh, each married the woman and each died childless.
