Where does it say that JESUS was married?

Question

If there is a Gospel somewhere that states Jesus was married, who wrote it and where was it found?

Answer 1

It doesn't, OK? But, for the time, it was highly unusual for a man of Jesus' age NOT to be married

Answer 2

There's nothing that says "Jesus was married", but there are several parts of the gospels that indicate that he was.

First of all, it's what the Gospels DON'T say--they don't say that Jesus wasn't married. As a Rabbi (and the Gospels say that Jesus was a Rabbi) not only would Jesus be expected to be married--he would be REQUIRED to be married.. For Jesus to be carrying out Rabbinical duties while unmarried would be unusual, bordering on heretical, yet none of the Gospels mention Jesus's marital status. Conclusion? That His marital status was not unusual in any way, which in that time and place meant that he was married.

However there are other suggestions that Jesus was married. At the wedding feast in Cana, Mary (His mother) orders Jesus to provide wine for the guests, as well as orders the servants around. The only authority that Mary would have at such an occasion would be as the mother of the groom, and the only reason Jesus would be responsible for providing wine to the guests would be if he WAS the groom.

Secondly is when Jesus arrives after the death of Lazarus, and Mary (Lazarus' sister) is sitting shivah in the house. Jesus sends word to Mary to leave the house and meet him. With Mary in mourning, the ONLY people who could summon her thus were her father, her brother, or her husband. Since Jesus was neither father nor brother, the implication is that he is her husband.

Answer 3

It doesn't say anything one way or another. One of the Gnostic books, the Book of Thomas, which was found in Egypt in the last century, has a passage which states that Jesus loved Mary Magdaline, and kissed her often on the ___. The papyrus is torn right there, so we can only speculate where, but I've seen interpretations of "face," "forehead," and "lips." Kissing symbolized the passing of knowledge for the early Christians, but it also was typically only done between family members or a husband and wife in the Jewish community, so it's an open question whether or not they were married. Another passage in one of the Gnostic gospels has Peter pouting, asking another disciple why Jesus loved Mary so much more than the rest of them, and being rebuffed by the other disciple, who asked why Peter should question this. Finally, on the cross Jesus asks a disciple to take care of his mother Mary. This would have been very unusual for a non-family member to take care of her, and Mary Magdalene was at the crucifixion, so this has also fueled speculation that he was asking Mary Magdalene to take care of Mary, her mother-in-law.

Answer 8

Don't recall any gospel about it.... but since his tomb was found recently and there was an unrelated lady right in there with him, and by custom men could be buried with their family...... well.... you do the math.

Answer 9

It has no Biblical record, it is just something that was created by the Divinci code. It is one mans theory, in an attempt to corrupt the Christian faith.

Answer 10

The church can't have Jesus getting down and dirty.
