Exegesis
The aorist clause eschon auten gynaika {ἔσχον αὐτὴν γυναῖκα | éschon autḗn gynaîka} uses a predicate accusative (gynaika) to describe the past marital relationship “they had her as wife.” The syntactic progression from the highlighted subject, through the resurrection setting, to the possessive question and causal explanation sharpens the logical challenge the Sadducees are attempting to pose about the coherence of resurrection in light of serial marriage.
In context — Luke 20:33
Therefore, that woman, in the resurrection , whose wife does she become among them? For the seven had her as a wife.
