MARK 12:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.”
The second one married the widow, but he also died, leaving no children. The same thing happened with the third — the pattern is established: marry, die, no children. The repetition through seven communicates the artificial construction of the scenario — seven is the number of completeness, and the Sadducees are constructing the most complete possible reductio.
