So it’s entirely possible he was a widower when he met Jesus.
Your religion is playing tricks on your mind...The scripture doesn't say Peter had both of his legs so should we assume he rode around in a wheel chair???
I am not surprised your religion comes up with this stuff but it amazes me normal people buy into it...
If Peter's wife was dead, Peter didn't have a wife...But su-prise, su-prise...If you guys would only read and believe scripture you wouldn't be wasting your time with junk like this...
1Co 9:5 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?
So now we know that Peter was leading around a sister, or a wife...My money's on the wife...
Also, and this is what I found particularly interesting I don’t know why I didn’t think of it, he was at his mother-in-law’s house and she was the one waiting on them. I do believe if his wife was alive at the time, she would have been the one waiting on them at his (their) house.
My God, why don't you people read the scriptures before you comment on them???
Mat_8:14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.
It was Peter's house, NOT his mother in law's...
Mat 8:15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them
The MIL didn't minister unto anyone, until she was healed of the fever...And obviously it was to show that she had been healed and was well enough to minister...
Peter shared his house with his brother and God knows who else...There likely were a number of women there ministering unto the men, and kids...
