Lukas 20:29-31

20:29 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman ¹  and died without children. 20:30 The second ²  20:31 and then the third married her, and in this same way all seven died, leaving no children.

[20:29]  ¹ tn Grk “took a wife” (an idiom for marrying a woman).

[20:30]  ² tc Most mss (A W Θ Ψ Ë^1,13 33 Ï lat) have the words, “took the wife and this one died childless” after “the second.” But this looks like a clarifying addition, assimilating the text to Mark 12:21. In light of the early and diverse witnesses that lack the expression (א B D L 0266 892 1241 co), the shorter reading should be considered authentic.
