​Luke 19-20

Luke 20: 27-35
Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,  Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.  There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children. And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.  And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.  Last of all the woman died also.  Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.  And Jesus answering said unto them, 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.

Jesus would know the answer to the question before this Sadducee even asked it, and the answer would have been the same had he only asked about two brothers or even just one man.  Jesus lets him ask his long convoluted question, and then just says: (my translation) people don't marry in heaven.  After his answer, (KJV translation) they durst not ask Him any questions at all.
