Did you know that many of the twelve apostles were either unmarried or widowed? While Peter is often believed to have been married due to references to his mother-in-law, the marital status of most apostles remains uncertain. Some traditions suggest that Philip had daughters, indicating he may have been married, while little is known about the personal lives of others like Bartholomew, Thomas, and Simon the Zealot. Early Christian writers like Clement of Alexandria and Eusebius of Caesarea suggest that marriage was common among Jewish men of that time, and Saint Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 9:5 imply that many apostles had wives. However, beyond Peter and Philip, no clear historical records confirm whether the apostles had children. Dive into the fascinating discussion of apostolic family life and historical traditions!
