Scholarly Perspectives
Mainstream Scholarly Consensus
The majority of scholars maintain that there is no credible evidence to support the claim that Jesus was married. The canonical texts’ silence on the matter is viewed as significant, suggesting that Jesus’ marital status was either not noteworthy or that he was indeed celibate.
Alternative Theories
Some scholars and authors propose alternative theories, suggesting that Jesus was married, possibly to Mary Magdalene. These theories often rely on interpretations of non-canonical texts and historical speculation.
