Was Jesus married? Old papyrus mentions ‘wife’

A small fragment of faded papyrus contains a suggestion that Jesus may have been married.

The fragment, with just eight lines of text on the front and six lines on the back, is from a fourth-century dialogue, written in the Coptic language, between Jesus and his disciples. In it, Jesus speaks of “my wife,” according to Harvard professor Karen L. King, who discovered the fragment.

“The most exciting line in the whole fragment…is the sentence ‘Jesus said to them [his disciples], my wife…” King said in a video posted to Harvard’s YouTube channel. The next line of text reads, “She will be able to be my disciple.”

    Just part of the continuing disinformation from the Church against Christ, our saviour. Check this out:

    1 Corinthians 11:14 – it is disgraceful of a man to have long hair.

    Back in the 1400’s, Leonardo da Vinci started a very close relationship with Cesare Borgia. Leonardo and the child of Rodrigo Borgia, who later became Pope Alexander VI, were lovers.

    Pope Alexander VI decided that he would have his son, Cesare Borgia used as the model for Jesus in paintings that da Vinci was commissioned to do.

    Cesare Borgia then allowed his father, Pope Alexander VI, to hire Leonardo to be a painter, architect and engineer for the family, while in secret he himself took da Vinci on as his lover. Cesare also had sex with his own sister Lucrezia, and killed his brother Giovanni in 1497.

    What did Jesus look like? According to historical records, he was certainly non-European in appearance. More likely African/ Asian in appearance.

    this may be true when he talks about his wife. being a theological student, when Jesus talks about His wife , He is referring to the church, ( His disciples) In the Bible we have seen in scripture that He said husbands love your wife as I have loved the church, next to we see where He said in His Word, I am the Husband man, referring to the church ( the believers) and also the story of the five foolish virgins and the five wise virgin who were suppose to keep their lamps with oil to be ready for the husbandman, their a picture us who are to be ready for when He comes. that’s the whole story of Him mentioning “my wife”

    To listen to some of you,,someone would think tht marriage was a bad thing to be and having a wife was a sin. So what if Jesus had a wife would that make you love him less or his teachings less true and usefull.

    O dear! O dear! I cannot, cannot believe those posts that I have read in response to this news article above, for the responses are appalling!

    I would never believe that there are so many people who are completely, ignorant of the God who created them! This kind of surprise is now making me think that the words in our Dominica’s National Anthem, where it says we are a “people full of Godly reverend fear” should be changed.

    For as I read those comments here and the thumbs up that those posters receive, I get the feeling that we, in Dominica, do not even know God, how can we express reverend fear to Him?

    It is a fact that the majority of people here do not understand the difference between the conducts of the flesh and the conducts of the Spirit–this fact grieves my Spirit; just imagine what it is doing to our God of Love in Spirit and Truth.

    That is why God, through Jesus Christ, has said about us: “These people honor Me with their lips but their heart is far from Me. And in vain, they worship Me teaching as doctrines, the commandments of men”.

    Yes indeed I am not convinced that the majority of human beings, if they claim God at all, they have claimed Him in vain–for they do not know Him

    People of Dominica or from where ever you sent a post in response to the article above, let it be known that God Almighty, Eternal Spirit is a Holy God of Love and Righteousness, His most outstanding character is Love–and Love perfect, being the Person of God in Jesus Christ.

    As human beings we continue to remain separated from this Holiness of God, until we have experienced the “New Birth” that we might grow in the Spirit for it is in Spirit and Truth that God wants us reconciled to Him in Love–the Life which is in Jesus Christ.

    I would like to use every scripture in the Bible to show you people that there is no way Jesus could been mixed up in the filthiness of sexual conducts, what would He be doing with a wife?

    And so I will only leave three Scripture for you, because I do not want this to be too long–I need for those messages to be printed. Here is the Scripture:

    Jesus had finished talking to His disciples about marriage and divorce. And so His teachings on that subjects was so stern that His disciples concluded, it was better to stay unmarried.

    So Jesus said to them: All cannot accept this saying, but only to those whom it has been given–here Jesus is talking about remaining unmarried which would mean living a celibate Life–some people are given that gift from God.

    Jesus ended the Scripture by telling His disciples–“He who is able to accept it let him do so”. In other words Jesus is saying that if people are able to live a celibate Life, they are allowed to do so. Matthew 19: 11-12

    Since Jesus demonstrated the ways of God in this world, would He take a wife, when He advised His disciple to remain celibate at the same time.

    When God commanded Moses to gather the people of Israel around the deep of Mount Zion, that He would read them the 10 commandments from above, Moses told the people to keep themselves clean, or purified, by staying away from sexual conducts with their spouses, for 3 days before the gathering at Mount Zion. Why was the Israel asked to do that? I will leave you to think about the answer for yourself.

    At the Book of Revelation Jesus chose 144,000 men they will rule with in Paradise. The Scripture said that all of those men were virgins–not being defiled by women.

    If those men are to be pure and sanctified, how could Jesus, the Person of God, in human form be involved in sexual conducts, which would defile His body? O people, please!

        @Anon

        It is not that I was there, I could not have walked the earth during the time that Jesus did so, and to be alive today.

        But Jesus did what God Almighty had promised to do through His suffering, dying, and resurrection. He said to His disciples:

        “You shall receive the power when Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me—to the end of the earth. Acts 1: 8 This power began to reign in this world from the Day of Pentecost.

        And so that is why I call myself Lizavier4Jesus. And as He has anointed me to be His witness in this world, I speaks the truth He reveals to me by my channel of faith and the power of Holy Spirit, His anointing in me since 14 years ago.

        Otherwise I would “shut-up” because I would not have anything to say; which is what you need to do–you foolish person!

    The bible is thousands of years old so think of it couldn’t some information in it get changed or replaced ? lol and the ppl saying they are proud Catholics and want to defend them although they hearing every time about all the corruption their proud church is doing and yet still they defend itYALL REALLY BRAINWASHED.!!! dont you see the pope himself looks like a feminine person for a man of god i expect him to be more demonstrative even if he of age.

  11. NECRO
    September 20, 2012

    one of the reasons we were taught that Jesus didn’t have a wife or any female disciples was because the Catholic has a great power over everything and they brain wash us from the day we first get christened and they fill our heads with what they want us to believe.The same people that say homosexuality is a sin are the same ones that rape the young boys so thats enough to see that they are doing alot of corrupt and sick things.

    How sad that the majority of commenters here dismiss the article without 1) giving any evidence they read the article, 2) knowing anything about how their precious bible itself was put together or frankly give the sense they care to know, 3) knowing that there are vast quantities of papyri and ancient documents containing different accounts, versions, or philosophies of the Jews and Christians’ ideas, or 4) stopping to consider that–GASP–their precious bible might not be the end-all-be-all of the universe. The state of education among us is really pathetic–and you people have the Internet access to fix that. Disgraceful buffoons, all of you.

    • September 21, 2012

      @Freethinker

      You have no concept of God Almighty and His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. That is why you need to be quiet, about this subject, and to talk about the things of the world which you believe is higher than “knowledge of the God, who created you–unless science has already told you God is not your creator.

      I am a Spirit filled person, born again of Life in Love, since 14 years ago. Long before I was filled with the power of Holy Spirit, God showed me that His Words were tampered with, as humans being translate without the wisdom and insight of Holy Spirit–and so I do not disagree with you about that understanding of yours.

      I am saying that I know when the Bible which I am reading is plagued with the thoughts of human wisdom and philosophy and when those words were guided by the wisdom and understanding Holy Spirit from the conscience of the translator.

      But that does not stop me from believing the Bible, for I understand the work of God’s enemy through God’s own people. Even this news article is one of those dirty works of that enemy.

      And so I simply use the Bible from which I hear God’s voice, not the voice of carnally minded human being–my King James versions of the English Bible translation is the best one for me.

      Apart from the Bible, faith empowers the wisdom and insight of Holy Spirit. Spiritual understanding and discernment works to clarify the different concepts–hence the Truth is produced in my mind.

      Unfortunately that “Truth” will not enter your mind because you are a “natural man” who cannot receive the things of a God who is of “Spirit and Truth”–not of flesh and bones.

      If people think that the faculties of learning in this world, is enough for their existence; and so they will not try to get into the School of Holy Spirit; to learn the Ways of Life in Love, as they acquire “knowledge” of God and “Jesus Christ”, well that is why the world is out to bump into a tragic surprise. Because, “the world, and everything that is in it is passing away, but the man who does what God wants will live forever”.

      Except for your very last line,which is in poor taste I concur with you.Understand that religion is organised chaos hence the reason for so many versions of the same church and wealth creation, was designed and still remains the reigns around the horses mouth to keep society in check. To this end it serves a great purpose. People who would otherwise be lost and do as they damn well please are guided on by religious principles to pull back, which makes for a civil society, so I will not discard it or trash believers. Can you imagine a world where people had nothing to look up to? no moral compass? no reminder of conscience and most of all nothing to hope or live for? What I take issue with however is that these very people who are eloquent in debates can’t accept that the bible was written on the orders of a man, who was very selective in what in wanted included and excluded to further control them. I have issues with people who refuse to be open enough to understand there is much more information out there if they only indulge themselves. If you are so firm in what you were cultured to believe then reading a little more shouldn’t change that, it will only give you more reasons to believe.

      • September 21, 2012

        @Tri-State Beauty

        You still do not understand. God is the “Supreme Being” His primary nature is Love, which is of Spirit. God is also Sacred and Pure–the real Truth, which is Life in man, when he is “born again”.

        As your creator God knows about your whole life cycle–long before you entered this world– from day one to the day you will pass away, if that is your destiny, according to His Will for you.

        If you think that God does not know anything about all these inventions of the world today, then you are fooling yourself and no one else.

        Whatever the good that was invented, and will be invented it was, and will be the purpose of God for the inventor/inventors.

        The problem is that God’s enemy–the god of this world, has his way of disguising himself, and to interfere with God’s work as He commands His chosen person to do that work–God gave man the gift “free will” so He doesn’t hold a gun at the forehead of no one.

        Satan feeds the mind of those people with pride and self-conceit; that alone causes them to be inefficient in their performance–but God always comes through in what He has planned to do

        What is “hope” for you if that great Hope is not the desire to live forever. God alone can fulfill that desire in you–not your abilities in this world–you better believe that.

        “The world”–meaning those people who will not surrender to God and Life in Him, through Jesus Christ– and everything that is in it–meaning worldly accomplishments–is passing away, but the man who does what God wants lives forever”. 1st. John 2: 17 Not my words, but the Word of God–dis-stating as it may seem to you, you better believe it!

    So many of u are trying to dicard the new discovery,don’t u all know the bible was written in same way by the scrolls which were discovered,just that some of them were not found so they could be included.The bible in it’s preseent form is not the original writtings,it’s reaaly difficult in small societies like Dominica’s for people to be open minded when for years they were being taught something be it lie or truth.The same way we were being told that Jesus did not have a biological father but had a biological mother,when the first book of the new testament it is telling us of his genealogy through Joseph.How can he be of Joseph’s genes,if Joseph was not his biological father?What is so wrong if Jesus had a wife?Does having a wife and being involved seexually with a wife ungodly?Then this would mean that the true and living GOD has committed a sin to have given Adam a wife?So many misinterpretation and misrepresentation.One is the issue of Jesus and GOD is one,the GODHEAD whom Jesus represented is not flesh,he manifested in spirit through Jesus,but Jesus is not the GODHEAD.Could go on,but this medium will not permit.Hope it’s published D.N.O,thanks.

  18. September 20, 2012

    “This discovery, if it is validated, could have a major implications for the Christian faith”—
    quote from the news article

    Well I would say that if those two words “my wife”–and foolish as it sounds, claiming it to be the words of Jesus Christ– could interfere with the faith a sincere Christian, then I would suggest that God has no “chosen people” in this world.

    For I know that Christians are suppposed to be people who knows Jesus through intimate relationship with Him, a relationship which directed by Holy Spirit in that person–otherwise it is just a name without any meaning.

    For as Christians our relationship with God must be stemmed out through faith–that Jesus is the only begotten Son–being conceived by the power of Holy Spirit, Love in God Almighty. This conception happened in the womb of a young woman who was a virgin–we all should know what the term “virgin” means.

    By faith Holy Spirit convicts or reveals to a Christian, of the Truth that Jesus the Son and Christ, Eternal Spirit, is One God–the Almighty God and Lord of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

    Through God’s promise to those three fathers of the nation of Israel, we, who have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior become children of God.

    For as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to be children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1: 12-13

    As we read the apostle John–one of Jesus’ disciples, who walked with Him when He walked this earth–talking about Jesus in that Scripture above; and as we here Jesus telling His disciples: “I am in the Father and the Father is in Me–anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father” John 14: 7-11, who can claim to be a Christian and to believe this nonsense about Jesus having a wife?

    I will continue with this conversation later on.

  19. DESIE
    September 20, 2012

    Why is it so hard for us to believe Jesus could have sex, He had a penis didn’t he?

    It does not make less of a God if he married and had sex cause at the time he was flesh.

    people say God never gets hungry but when he was a man he ate his 3 daily meals.

    • September 21, 2012

      @Desie

      Your sentiment above is another example of the mass number of people, with that human mind of theirs, who have no understanding of a Holy God in Spirit and Truth.

      You might as well claim not to believe in Him–I wouldn’t doubt you one bit. But don’t start saying that you are not talking about God, you talking about Jesus, for He has already told us that: “I am in the Father and the Father is in Me”.

      If you actually believe that a God who is of Spirit and Holiness is involved in sexual conducts –the desire and hunger of the flesh, which provokes the conducts of rapes, adultery, fornication, prostitution, incest, and bestiality, well I am telling you right now, that you have no concept of the God who created you.

      And so, you and those who are with you are they who are heading into a very tragic outcome, unless you people decide to make a U-Turn; and to enter the path that leads towards the place where God will perform that Spiritual surgery on your mind–to bring you into the shape of Life.

      Please do not think that you have Life in you, not with that idea in your head about Jesus Christ. He told us that we need to undergo a “new birth of Love”,in Spirit and in Truth, if we want to be of the Kingdom of God, who is Spirit and Holiness.

      Jesus also warns us that flesh profits nothing–that is the reason why you can perceive Him having–I pity you, and so I won’t even mention the rest of the ignorance of yours above.

    The bigger question is – did Jesus, like all members of the male species of the human race, have erections, including the ever famous morning wood (if you don’t know what it is look it up). If he did not then he was not, according to the bible, tried and tested in all aspects as a man (I’m paraphrasing).

    Sexual temptation is one of the greatest trials any man has to face in his life. How can I identify with a saviour who wants me not be promiscuous, yet doesn’t know what it’s like to have a raging hard on and the only thing you can think about is punany lol.

    • September 21, 2012

      @Noko

      The apostle Paul, who was taught by Holy Spirit–not even by Jesus, the Man Himself, for Paul did not accept Jesus, when He walked this earth.

      Anyway Paul teaches us that the carnal mind is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can it be. So then those who are in the flesh cannot please God. We human beings need to undergo mind renewal, otherwise we simply remain in our death condition–as strangers to God Almighty.

      That is who you are! A “natural man” the human being with a carnal mind–which can only respond to the instincts of your human senses. Those instincts or promptings manifest in your crave, in your yearn, in your hunger, and in your desire, to satisfy any of those senses, which are see, hear, taste, feel, and smell.

      I challenge you to put anyone of those senses into play and discover why you would have the “raging hard-on” which you would probably give in to.

      Now I will tell you why Jesus would not experience that same things as you, in His body–for I am human too, but Holy Spirit–better known as the influence of Jesus Christ– lives in me.

      As Jesus told us about Himself, He said: “I can of Myself do nothing” Jesus meant that He did not function by the prompts of a human mind–He did come to world with that state of mind.

      In other words, Jesus’ Mind was not of the human nature–otherwise He could not have been a perfect Man. And by perfect I mean sanctified, pure, without the ability to get sick, among all the other fallibility of the human nature.

      Jesus could not sin, as He told us: “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life”. As human beings we do not have Life in us, if we are outside of the Spiritual Body, and the walk with Jesus Christ

      “I am in the Father and the Father is in Me”. Jesus the Son, and Christ, Eternal Spirit in Him is One God in essence–and God is perfect.

      I have said this over and over, I don’t know if I will ever stop saying it, because no one seem to understand. Now here I go again.

      Jesus looked like a Man, but His Mind was of the Great Spirit, Love, Christ who lived in Him. Christ is not like a surname for Jesus, Christ is the Body of God Almighty–who lived in the Man, Jesus. Do we have any reverend fear for God?

      The Mind that Jesus maintained was perfect, He had no form of imperfection in Him. Jesus could remain alive for forty days and night without food, which human being could do that? He once told His disciples that His food is to the work that the Father sent Him to do.

      Your hard-on or erection, whichever you choose to call it is a desire or hunger of the flesh, which your carnal mind cannot resist–Jesus had a sanctified body with the Mind of Eternal Spirit–the God who is Love, in Holiness and Truth.

      Jesus’ perfect state of Mind would not conduct the shamefulness and corruption of the flesh which you are talking about, how can you compare you fleshly experiences with a God who is of Spirit and Holiness–He wants nothing to do with the things of the flesh.

      As human beings we cannot identify with Jesus–we have no power to do so. Jesus identified with our sinful nature, the only way He could redeem from our punishment of death and darkness.

      Jesus carried your sins on that heavy cross, where He chose to die, that He might bury those sins of yours in the grave. Only faith in Him and His blood of Life, wiil transform you to become like Him–otherwise! Woe is you!

      I have much more to say, but I will stop, because of lengthy writing.

    What was wrong and so absurd about Jesus having a wife? God made Eve for Adam, so why would the thought of his son having a companion be so crazy? Why would the plan be for Jesus to be roaming the place with a bunch of guys all day all night. That’s not natural.
    Furthermore it’s amazing how one name/word and the same person gets translated as wife and at the same time as prostitute. How does a word have a meaning on two extremities, wife/prostitute, does that make sense?

    I as a Muslim completely reject this gibberish.

    Jesus Christ (Yehsua in Hebrew, Isa in Arabic) the son of Mary peace be upon him is loved by all Muslims. We believe in his miraculous birth, his miracles, his ascension into heaven and will come again to slay the Anti-Christ. We believe that he is the messiah.

    WE AFFIRM THAT THIS “SCROLL” THAT SEEMS TO ALLUDE THAT JESUS PEACE BE UPON HIM WAS MARRIED IS NOTHING BUT A LIE AND FABRICATION.

    We love Jesus Christ peace be upon him and his mother Mary peace be upon her was a woman of truth. He was a servant and messenger of Allah (Arabic name for God).

    The major difference we hold with the Christians (our brothers and sisters in humanity, we came from the same parents, Adam and Eve) is that we do not go overboard by deifying a human being, thus making him God besides the most high which is a slanderous word against Allah.

    Additionally, those who say that Jesus peace be upon him is God, it would imply that God or a part of God died on a cross or stake as the Jehovah’s Witnesses would say. This is a slander against the Most High that He would die even for a split second.

    We reject going overboard in our love for Jesus as well as the assertion that he was married is nothing but a concoction.

    In conclusion, I invite my Christian people to read this article.

    Jesus Christ is God, and he had no need for sexual gratification, just like we will not have need for sex in heaven. One of The reasons being that the joy of being in the presence of God is greater than any earthly joy and sexual pleasure we have experienced, so there will be no need for sex. All of this idea about Jesus being married is geared towards DISCREDITING JESUS CHRIST AND NOTHING MORE. At the heart of it, these people don’t want to accept the PERFECTION of CHRIST.

      who say there is no sex in heaven. Who created sex??? Why is sex associated with evil??? stop being stupid and brain washed by racist christian thoughts and teachings

        Sex is God’s gift to man and woman in marriage and that is for the earth, not in heaven. Being in the presence of God in heaven is so complete and fulfilling that their will be no need for sexual gratification. Sex is only for the earth. You are blinded by your point of view.

      @Drone

      Satan continues to do his dirty work of keeping God’s people wrapped in the things of the flesh, and they continue to give in him. This news article is an example of Satan’s work against the God is Mightier than he can ever be.

      And you are right also there will be no conduct of the flesh–such as sexual behaviour– in heaven because, that conduct has nothing to do with the Spirit–the stature of Life with God.

      Jesus once told the Sadducees who tried to trick Him, concerning the resurrection–pertaining to the lady who married seven consecutively, as each brother died in the same manner.

      The Sadducees ask Jesus which brother would be the lady’s husband if there was truly a resurrection–for they did not believe.

      So Jesus told them that in the resurrection people neither marry or are given in marriage–for in heaven all will live like angels–meaning that we will put on a Spiritual body in the resurrection to live with God Almighty just like His angels are doing right now.

      To bad for those who refuse to go into the Bible, to get the message of Love in Jesus Christ–the message which is the “blue print” of Life itself.

    Personally I see nothing so far fetched about this and I have long entertained the idea that this man had a woman.Somehow people who have the ability to question everything else suddenly have issues with this. What is so impossible about a man having a wife? Catholic self always extra, who said he was calling any church wife, when he had no church himself?

    For God has taken the foolish things of this world to confound the wise, while you all are looking for a wife for jesus why not become part of his bride the church, accept him as savior of your lives, every one seeks to interpret Jesus word how they want but, if you do not have the spirit of God this is not possible, a carnal man can not understand the things of God because he is not spiritually discerned.. the wife of JESUS is the church …

    hhmmmmm well the most popular Bible is the King James Version…. meaning King James of England had his philosophers manipulate the Bible when they took or stole the scrolls from africa… and they sent out what they wanted U.K and it’s territories to believe… which is basically the whole world… don’t u find it funny how there’s no trace of what Jesus looked like (we all know it’s a black man)… remember having a woman doesn’t make u a sinner.. if u all married before any sexual relations i.e kissing, intercourse etc etc…. but there’s good reason for excluding that part…. cause women were not permitted to have no power in those days… even priests do not marry and a nun can’t excel higher than um a nun… imagine if Jesus had a wife… oh my ‘Give Madam Speaker Room’ lol…. is now those feminists going full steam attack

      You should never follow the King James Version Bible…he broke away from the Catholic Church to fulfil his adulterous lifestyle and remarry.

      Religion/Bible is much about History as it is Theology.

      As student of History and Theology I don’t read King Kames

      I read Matthew Luke and John

    The truth had been potrayed in the famous last diiner painting by Michael Angelo. The Mary Magdalyn that the bible now talk about was actually the woman that accompanied jesus and was said to be his wife. The church went on it’s own campaign to distort the truth.

      That is the best comment ever. I think all these things are to discredit christianity and the authenticity of our lord as savior,king.

      What we should focus now is on making Jesus king of our lives and not on whether he had a wife or not. Why would Jesus need a wife any how? His mision was to seek and save the lost.

    The effort to discredit the deity of Christ continues and has been going on for 2000 years. It will never succeed. He is the only true King and will remain the Lord of ALL Lords forever!!
