Context: Mark 12
19Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
20Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
21And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
22And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
23In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

Commentary
Mark 12 is a chapter that focuses on Jesus' teachings and interactions with the religious leaders of the day. In this chapter, Jesus is asked a series of questions by the religious leaders in an attempt to trap him. Jesus responds to each question with wisdom and insight, often turning the question back on the questioner. He speaks of the importance of loving God and loving one's neighbor, and of the importance of paying taxes to Caesar. He also speaks of the resurrection of the dead, and of the greatest commandment.
