Is there a scripture that specifically states that Jesus was celibate, or are the scriptures merely silent on that point?
With regard to “high priest”, specifically where does it use that term with regard to Jesus?
Personally, if the scriptures are silent on a particular point then I will be as well, and I will refrain from specious speculation.

Do you have any verses that show He was married? Was St. Paul married?
“With regard to “high priest”, specifically where does it use that term with regard to Jesus?”
Who else offered Jesus to the Father? Was it not Jesus Himself? Aren’t you familiar with Hebrews 3:1?

I make no speculation. Jesus was celibate. He could never have taken a wife.
