"Peter was married."

Yes, we learned in Matthew that Peter was married, but only know of the existence of his mother in law from the Gospel. This suggests that his wife may have already been dead by the time Jesus began His ministry. Do you doubt that Peter was celibate?

I doubt Peter was celibate.

1 Cor 9:5 Do we not have the right to take along a believing wife, as do the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and CEPHAS?

Well sure...And it suggests that Peter went to the Community College part time and that he drove a red Porsche...

It also suggests that Peter had 8 kids and probably a bunch of grandkids...But it suggests that they all died while Peter and the family got caught in that snowstorm in the Alps...The only survivors were Peter and his mother in law...

And it suggests that Peter's mother in law had an immaculate conception since it doesn't mention Peter's father in law...
