Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical
οὖν
therefore
The Sadducees are not saying this to draw a logical inference, but to lead into a question about a hypothetical possibility. Alternate translation (as a separate sentence): “We would like to ask you how this law would be applied in a possible situation”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
ἑπτὰ οὖν ἀδελφοὶ ἦσαν; καὶ ὁ πρῶτος, λαβὼν γυναῖκα, ἀπέθανεν ἄτεκνος
seven therefore brothers ˱there˲_were and the first /having/_taken /a/_wife died_off childless
While the Sadducees describe this as if it happened, they are actually asking about a hypothetical possibility in order to test Jesus. Alternate translation: “Suppose there were seven brothers, and the oldest brother got married, but he died before he had any children”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
ὁ πρῶτος
the first
Jesus is using the adjective first as a noun in order to indicate a particular person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could specify the person. Alternate translation: “the first brother” or “the oldest brother”
Note 4 topic: translate-ordinal
ὁ πρῶτος
the first
If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you can use a cardinal number here. Alternate translation: “brother number one”
20:1-47 In this series of controversies between Jesus and the religious leaders of Jerusalem, they repeatedly questioned and challenged him, and he repeatedly outmatched them with his spiritual wisdom, insight, and authority.
OET (OET-LV) Therefore there_were seven brothers, and the first, having_taken a_wife, died_off childless,
OET (OET-RV) Once there were seven brothers and the first one had a wife but died without having children.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
