It is actually easier to prove he wasn't married than it is to prove it. Even though the Bible is silent on this.
If Jesus was married, then the wife would accompany Him everywhere he went...no mention of her cooking, cleaning or even nagging...or even being there at the death, removal from the cross, or even at the Tomb to take care of the body... a wifely duty.
I just listened to a lecture last night from a seminary professor who, strangely enough, wrote his doctoral dissertation on this very subject. This professor, speaking in the area of his expertise, Jewish culture in N.T. times, flatly stated that it was customary for Jewish men to not marry until their 30's and that they usually married (it sounds strange to us) teenagers. Moreover, he also alluded to an Old Testament prophetic tradition of singleness that would not have been at all unusual to those people.
What is your source for your assertion that it would be *VERY* odd for any rabbi or, for that matter nearly any 30 year old man, to not be married?
Cordially,
On the other hand, who was the person who first saw Jesus after the resurrection? And what was that person doing at the Tomb so early on a Sunday morning?
