Luke 20:30
28 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.
29 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife, but died childless.
Then the second
31 and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.
32 And last of all, the woman died.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
