# There were seven brothers
The Sadducees tell Jesus a story because they want to ask him a question about it to test him. The story is not about things that really happened. Alternate translation: "Suppose there were seven brothers" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hypo]])
# the first
the first brother
# the first took a wife
"the first brother married a woman." Here marrying a woman is spoken of as "taking" her.
