The Resurrection and Marriage
27Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus with a question. 28“Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 29Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman and died childless. 30The second 31and then the third married her, and in the same way the seven died, leaving no children. 32Finally, the woman died too. 33Now then, at the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”
34Jesus replied, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage.35But those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage,36and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children, since they are children of the resurrection.37But in the account of the burning bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ 38He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.”

Yes. Doesn't that show the deviousness of the Sadducees? They didn't believe in the resurrection, yet in order to trick Jesus, they put to Him this complex scenario of a woman who married seven brothers in turn, and ask Him whose wife this woman would be in the resurrection that they didn't believe in.

It seems there will be no sexual intercourse for resurrection bodies. Otherwise, that woman would be having sex with seven men after the resurrection.

I think Jesus clarified the position of the Sadducees when he responded to their question "The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:"
Now the Sadducees were of the tribe of Levi and the descendants of those who wrote the law regarding the brother taking the wife of his brother that died and bringing forth children to perpetuate the lineage of their dead brother. That was what he was referring unto when he spoke of those given in marriage.
When the LORD troubled Pharaoh after Abram told him that Sarah was his sister; and threaten King Abimelech in a dream of being a dead man , who had also been told by Abraham that Sarah was his sister, when it was revealed unto them that Sarah was Abraham's wife. When confronted with his story, Abraham said that he imagined that the fear of God was not in their Nation and that they would have slayed him for his wife's sake because she his sister. the daughter of his father but not his mother.
While it only says that Pharaoh deported Abram and his wife and all that they had from Egypt while King Abimelech was told to restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live, so Abimelech to Abraham to dwell where he pleased in his Nation.

But Jesus never did answer the question on which brother of the seven she would be the wife of since those that would be worthy of being resurrected from the death neither marry nor are given in marriage. Being worthy of something doesn't mean that the person actually receives it.

Of course the chief priests and the scribes who were Pharisees, who believed in the resurrection, had just asked Jesus whether it was lawful to pay tribute to Caesar when the would later deny the LORD who bringeth down to grave and bring up when the chief priest answered Pilate and said "We have no king but Caesar." The LORD is King for ever and ever: Ps 10:16
