29 There were G2258 therefore G3767 seven G2033 brethren: G80 and G2532 the first G4413 took G2983 a wife, G1135 and died G599 without children. G815
30 And G2532 the second G1208 took G2983 her to wife, G1135 and G2532 he G3778 died G599 childless. G815
31 And G2532 the third G5154 took G2983 her; G846 and G1161 in like manner G5615 the seven G2033 also: G2532 and they left G2641 no G3756 children, G5043 and G2532 died. G599
32 G1161 Last G5305 of all G3956 the woman G1135 died G599 also. G2532
33 Therefore G3767 in G1722 the resurrection G386 whose G5101 wife G1135 of them G846 is she? G1096 for G1063 seven G2033 had G2192 her G846 to wife. G1135

Commentary on Luke 20 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 20
In this chapter we have,
All which passages we had before in Matthew and Mark, and therefore need not enlarge upon them here, unless on those particulars which we had not there.
Luk 20:1-8
In this passage of story nothing is added here to what we had in the other evangelists; but only in the first verse, where we are told,
Luk 20:9-19
Christ spoke this parable against those who were resolved not to own his authority, though the evidence of it was ever so full and convincing; and it comes very seasonably to show that by questioning his authority they forfeited their own. Their disowning the lord of their vineyard was a defeasance of their lease of the vineyard, and giving up of all their title.
Luk 20:20-26
We have here Christ's evading a snare which his enemies laid for him, by proposing a question to him about tribute. We had this passage before, both in Matthew and Mark. Here is,
Luk 20:27-38
This discourse with the Sadducees we had before, just as it is here, only that the description Christ gives of the future state is somewhat more full and large here. Observe here,
Luk 20:39-47
The scribes were students in the law, and expositors of it to the people, men in reputation for wisdom and honour, but the generality of them were enemies to Christ and his gospel. Now here we have some of them attending him, and four things we have in these verses concerning them, which we had before:-
Christ reads them their doom in a few words: These shall receive a more abundant judgment, a double damnation, both for their abuse of the poor widows, whose houses they devoured, and for their abuse of religion, and particularly of prayer, which they had made use of as a pretence for the more plausible and effectual carrying on of their worldly and wicked projects; for dissembled piety is double iniquity.
