'Wife' in the Bible

For Herod himself had sent [guards] and had John arrested and shackled in prison because of Herodias, the wife of his [half-] brother Philip, because he (Herod) had married her.

For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful [under Mosaic Law] for you to have your brother’s wife.”

Pharisees came to Jesus to test Him [intending to trick Him into saying something wrong], and asked Him, “Is it lawful [according to Scripture] for a man to divorce his wife and send her away?”

For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother [to establish a home with his wife],

And He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her;

“Teacher, Moses wrote for us [a law] that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but leaves no child, his brother is to marry the widow and raise up children for his brother.

There were seven brothers; the first [one] took a wife, and died leaving no children.

In the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven [brothers] were married to her.”
