Who of Jesus apostles were married?

Answer 1

Very likely. James was the brother of Jesus and they were good Jewish boys. It was not acceptable for them to remain single for too long after their teens so they probably married.

On the other hand, Jesus and his brothers were rather radical. Jesus was a member of the Essenes for some time before beginning his ministry and may not have been married because of that. That sect was set up to challenge the Jewish customs and laws which were practiced at the time.

Answer 2

The Bible in a round about way tells us that Simon Peter was married, as Jesus healed Peter's mother-in-law. To have a mother-in-law a person has to be married or once married. We are not told of the others.

Answer 3

Paul says (1 Corinthians 9:5): "Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?" Here he appears to indicate not only his own marital status but also his belief that other apostles and the brothers of Jesus were married, as well as the certain knowledge that Cephas (Peter) was.

Answer 4

We do not know if all the apostles ere married, but it is mentioned that Peterss mother in law was very sick and Jesus healed her.

Answer 5

Yes he could but how can he give all his time following Jesus.

Answer 6

According to scripture, yes, he was. Matthew 8:14 -Now when Jesus had come into Peter's house, He saw his wife's mother lying sick with a fever.
