30. And the second took her ] This question about the husband of the “Sevenfold widow” was one of the materialistic objections to the Resurrection, which as an insipid ‘difficulty’ had often been discussed in Jewish schools. It was excessively commonplace, and even if Jesus had given the answer which contented the most eminent Rabbis of the Pharisaic schools that the woman would be the wife of the first husband it is hard to see what triumph these shallow Epicureans (as the Talmud calls them) would have gained by their question.
