3239.—Married Disciples

How many of the disciples were married?

The Gospels record the marriage of but one, and that is Peter. We read in Mark 1:30 that Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever. Simon, then, was married. There is an expression used by the apostle Paul in 1 Cor. 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?" It would seem from that that some of the other apostles had wives, but we are not told as to who they were.
