The Apocryphal books are invaluable in my opinion and add important details to events in our Bibles.

Oh?

They seem to be of little help in understanding (and OBEYING) Matthew 23:9.

They seem to be of little help in understanding (and OBEYING) Matthew 23:9.

And Peter was married.

Matthew 8:14-15 New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB1995)

14 When Jesus came into Peter’s home, He saw his mother-in-law lying sick in bed with a fever. 15 He touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she got up and waited on Him.

CATHOLIC TRADITION - Forbidding the priesthood to marry.

1 Timothy 4 New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB1995)

4 But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, 3 men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude; 5 for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer.

6 In pointing out these things to the brethren, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound doctrine which you have been following.

CATHOLIC TRADITION - Mary never had other children after the Lord Jesus. She remained a perpetual virgin.

Matthew 13:55-56 New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB1995)

55 Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? 56 And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?”

CATHOLIC TRADITION - Mary is the queen of heaven.

Jeremiah 7:18-19 New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB1995)

18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they pour out drink offerings to other gods in order to spite Me. 19 Do they spite Me?” declares the Lord. “Is it not themselves they spite, to their own shame?”
