Did Jesus marry?

Question

And did He have children? If so, who descended from Him?

Answer 1

No Jesus Christ remained single and a virgin.
He did NOT have sex.
He did NOT marry.
He did NOT have children.

Answer 2

I won't get into all that DaVinci Code bull, but the Bible itself doesn't explicitly state one way or another whether Jesus was married. A lot of people get offended by the idea, but I think this stems from the Catholic belief that celibicy is a holier state than matrimony (a belief I disagree with).

As far as any descendents-- well, there are those Merovingian kings who claimed to be descended from Jesus, but then again on other occasions they also claimed to be descended from a sea monster and from survivors from Atlantis.

Answer 3

Did He marry?... Possibly. Nothing He said was anti-marriage, as far as I can tell, in my readings of the Gospels. There's no definite records that say one way or the other. Yes, the Jews at that time had a very specific process that was to be followed in starting a family (aka, getting married). "Shacking up" or cohabitating wasn't the same as marriage.... Remember the Samaritan woman? Yes, there was a distinct difference between being married and merely living together..

Did He father any children?... If He got married, I don't see why not.

If He married, and if He fathered any children, who are they? I would have no idea.

Answer 4

No Jesus never married. Even when asked by Mary the sister of Lazarus about his future he said that his life was not his own.
Many believe the davinci code nonesense however if you look at the book and the movie they both clearly state they are fictional. There have been reports of ossuairies found for Jesus family.. however these have been proven to be hoaxes. The writing used for them does not match the style nor the age they would have to be to be authentic.
I would recommend the book of John .. 4th book of the new testament to learn more about the life of Christ.

God bless you :)

Answer 5

Jesus could have been married. There are no records that He was, but there is no proof that He wasn't either. I don't believe that He had children though. That would make His children part God, and the rest of His lineage.

Answer 6

Heavenly Father said that in order for us to return back to him (if we are of proper age) we should marry in the temple and have a lasting covenant. So to answer, it's more then likely he did marry. But I do not know if he had children. He probably kept his marriage secret for the same reason why Heavenly Father doesn't openly talk about our Heavenly Mother. People curse Heavenly Father and Jesus everyday, and they didn't want to hear them say the same things about their spouses.

Answer 7

It's anybody's guess. There was a tomb found with what appeared to be Jesus and his family, including Mary, Joseph, James, Mary Magdeline, Jesus, and a child that was labeled as the son of Jesus. A few other people that were relatives were there as well.

Answer 8

People in Jesus' time didn't have to have a ceremony to get married.
If he and Mary Magdalene were an item, that could be seen as an interpretation that they were married.

Answer 9

It goes back more years than I can remember.....
I don't think it will change my life........
If he had of married he would have made a great husband and father.........

Jesus said that God was within me.......
Ya' know, I think I shall ask God for the answer to that one.
I've heard that people talk to God every day, and I'm going to give it a try.......

"May Peace Be Unto You Always."

Answer 10

There is no mention in the Bible of him being married. Whether there is something in the Gnostic gospels about marriage, I'm not sure. I don't know if there's a definite answer to that. (yeah, here come the thumbs down!)
