The New Testament of the Bible provides some information suggesting that at least one of the disciples was married and strongly suggestion many others were married also:
Peter Had a Mother-in-Law:
The Gospels mention that Simon Peter, one of the apostles, had a mother-in-law, so Peter was married. For instance, Matthew 8:14-15 mentions Jesus healing Peter’s mother-in-law of a fever: “And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.”
Similar accounts are found in Mark 1:30-31 and Luke 4:38-39.
Paul’s Reference to Apostles’ Right to Marry:
In 1 Corinthians 9:5, Paul refers to the right of an apostle to be accompanied by a believing wife: “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?” Here, “Cephas” is another name for Peter, and this verse suggests that other apostles were married as well.
Cultural Norms:
During the time of Jesus, it was common for Jewish men to be married. The fact that the Gospels specifically mention Peter’s mother-in-law but do not give similar details for other disciples might indicate that their marital status was not unusual or noteworthy for the context.
Lack of Specific Information:
Apart from these instances, there is no specific information in the New Testament about the marital status of the other disciples.
In conclusion, based on biblical evidence, Peter, one of the disciples, was married, and there is a suggestion from Paul’s writing that other apostles might have been married too. However, the Bible does not provide detailed information about the marital status of each disciple.
