No, just spiritual children.
Jesus did not come to Earth to marry and have kids. His mission was simply to die for the sins of humanity. Then He returned to His Father in Heaven.
I don't know why it bothers people so much that Jesus was celibate.

I couldn't imagine that happening. Even my first born son was intelligent and well behaved. So he rarely got spanked at all. Jesus was unique no question about that but he had respect for authority as well and would never threaten or intimidate or look down on his elders. I'm thinking of the time Jesus was in the temple at the age of 12. How fascinating it is that Jesus could cause so much research and questionings with the teachers and scribes there. Yet they did not throw him out nor insult Jesus at all. For three days he was there. He must have a been a far different child that had the respect of many even in his youth. His own people knew Jesus as the carpenter's son. And when Mary found him in the temple later he did not reproach her but spoke the truth so much so that Mary kept these things in her heart.

Depends on wherther you believe Jesus was a Deity or not. If so, there's no record. If not, depends on whether Jesus was an actual historical figure or not. If so, 1st century social structure may have required him to be married, if not, well, it's no longer a problem.
"What you believe" may be decidedly different than actual fact. You could reseach the subject, but stay away from The DaVinci Code.

What makes you ALL so high and mighty that you think you know all. So what if he did have children ..would that ruin your belief in him. Wouldn't him having a family widen your religious beliefs. Nobody knows the whole truth ..you all believe in what you feel comfortable with or how you have been brain washed. To believe the bible is to have blind faith...doesn't that tell you something? I'm not having a go at the question...it's a good one..I'm replying mostly to the answers that were given. Lets see how many thumbs down I get for this one!

The papal council decided during the council of Trent (and another council in response to the Protestant Reformation) decided which books in the bible to include and canonize and which ones to leave out. Therefore, any books or stories which may have detracted from Jesus' divinity such as him being married and having children may have been left out. However, it's extremely unlikely that this would have been kept a secret for 2007 years.

No. Don't you think that if Jesus had children then they would have been mentioned at least once in the Bible, if for nothing else than to be an example of parenting.

Absolutley not. That was a fabrication to try to make Jesus seem unpure. Jesus is perfect in every way. He never had sexual relations what so ever.

No, Jesus had no wife, no children. But Jesus had brothers and sisters, Mary and Joseph had children after Jesus was born.

There are some hypotheses concerning a bloodline of Jesus, but there is no proof. We will likely never know.

Jesus does not have any children or descendants.
