Mar 12:19 | MHM | STEP | v. 19 : The Sadducees started by quoting a law from Moses: if a man died without children, his brother should marry the widow and have children for him (Deuteronomy 25:5 ). They created a story where seven brothers, one after the other, each married the same woman and all died without children (Mark 12:19 ). The Sadducees were not just questioning Jesus, but also making fun of Moses’ law and trying to make the idea of resurrection seem ridiculous.
