article_snippet.sent: : Wouldn't Church Fathers writing in the second century have written if Jesus was married or not?
article_snippet.sent: There is actually nothing in second century writers that says that Jesus was married and Clement of Alexandria (died 215 AD) takes for granted that Jesus was not married.
article_snippet.sent: When the "Gospel of Jesus Wife" was published in 2012, it was at first thought that this might witness to a tradition of Jesus being married from as early as the second century, but it is now clear that the fragment is a modern forgery.
article_snippet.sent: Where is it (said) that Jesus had a wife?
article_snippet.sent: There are no ancient texts in which Jesus had a wife.
