Where’s the biblical standard which states that all priests must be married?

If that were so, then why was Paul, who was celibate permitted to be an Apostle?

There is nothing contrary to scripture in having celibate priests. Paul himself argues to the contrary that the one who is married to God does not have his attention divided. That sounds pretty biblical to me.
