"There were three who always walked with the Lord: Mary, his mother, and her sister, and Magdalene, the one who was called his companion. His sister and his mother and his companion were each a Mary."\n  \n\nWAS JESUS MARRIED TO MARY MAGDELAN?\n\nI am going to talk to you today about 2 things.\n\n1. Who sat next to Jesus at the Last Supper\n2. Was Jesus EVER MARRIED\n\n\nWhy talk about the last supper picture? If you look at the pictures carfully -- the person sitting at the left side of Jesus looks very much like it would be Mary Magdelan. \n\nSome say this must be the Wife of Jesus\nThey say "It is the positon of the WIFE to sit at the left side during supper time."\n\nThere are many different pictures of "The Last Supper"\n\n* Here is one picture:\n\nhttp://www.puzzlehistory.com/supper1a.jpg\n\n\n* Here is a picture from Leonardo Da Vinci:\n\nhttp://www.adherents.com/images/Leonardo_LastSupper.jpg\n\n* Here is a picture of Operah's Last Supper:\n\nhttp://www.cegur.com/oprah/LastSuppernew.jpg\n\nwhere operah depicts herself as Jesus...\n\n\nWHO IS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF JESUS?\nIS THAT JOHN? OR MARY MADGELINE?\n\nthe following is a close up on the picture of the person sitting to the Left of Jesus:\n\nhttp://www.da-vinci-code.nl/johanna.gif\n\n=======\n\nI think According to most art historians the persons is most probably the disciple John. In the 15th and 16th century it was very common to paint John beardless and feminine. Even now, the disciple John is painted without a beard in most cases.\n\nIn the Da Vinci Code a lot is being said about Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece The Last Supper. Dan Brown claims there are a lot of hidden messages hidden in the fresco, which is still on display in the Santa Maria Della Grazie church in Italy.\n\nRobert Langdon tells Sophie Neveu in the De Da Vinci Code that the person who sits next to Jesus is not the disciple John. It is in fact Mary Magdalene. Langdon explains that this is clearly visible because the person next to Jesus looks female.\n\nWHAT... MARY MAGDALENE?\n\nTrue? Untrue? It is hard to say anything about this. Leonardo da Vinci never said something bout it and we can't ask him why he painted John/Mary the way he did it.\n\nSOME BELIEVE THAT JESUS WAS MARRIED...\n\n"There were three who always walked with the Lord: Mary, his mother, and her sister, and Magdalene, the one who was called his companion. His sister and his mother and his companion were each a Mary."\n\nSome take this to mean that Marry Magdalene was the WIFE of Jesus.\n\nWHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT THIS?\n\nDID JESUS HAVE A WIFE?\n\nIt has long been believed that Jesus was single. Every detail of Scripture indicates this. When he was in ministry, there is no mention of a wife. When he was tried and crucified, there is no mention of his having a wife. After his death, there is no mention of a wife. Whenever Jesus' family is referred to, it is his brothers and sisters who are mentioned, but never a wife. Nor is there any indication that he was widowed.\n\nAttempts to suggest that any of the many women associated with his ministry were, in fact, his wife are empty speculation. This includes the woman with the alabaster container who anointed Jesus (read Luke 7:36-50). This woman's act was shocking and would not have been nearly so surprising had she been his wife.\n\nQuestion: If this woman was the wife of Jesus then WHY WERE THEY SHOCKED when she anointed Jesus?\n\nThe church was not embarrassed to reveal that its leaders were married-or to suggest that they had the right to be. The same would have been true of Jesus, if he had been married. READ (1 Corinthians 9:5)\n\nHere is the MAIN ARGUEMENT:\nIt is often suggested that because Jesus was a teacher and functioned like a rabbi that he would have been married as well, since that was the Jewish custom. Sometimes it is noted that the apostles called him 'rabbi' (Mark 11:21).\n\nTHE ARGUEMENT ABOVE

i am quite positive that he did. and i think it would be to mary magdalene, who by the way was NOT a prostitute. the prostitute who was stoned to death was not named. mary magdalene's name just came subsequently after the story of the prostitute so many people immediately assumed that she was the prostitute.\n\nmary magdalene may also have been a discipple of christ, and she supposedly has a book that was omitted from the bible (it's a man's world). there are even references in scripture that mary magdalene was the one who jesus would often kiss. \n\ni dont see why so many people are so offended by the idea that jesus christ was married. whether or not he was god, he came to earth to live as MAN. i mean to be so offended at the thought of a married jesus seems as though people think marraige is wrong. i mean marriage is supposed to be sacred to christians, why shouldn't jesus have done it?

Personally, no. Mary was a Virgin, Immaculately Conceived, and was assumed into Heaven as a Virgin. \n\nHowever, some scholars believed that St. Joseph was a widow who was elderly and had grown up children  from that previous marriage and married the adolescent Mary as a favor to the High Priests of the Temple. Hence, Jesus had step-brothers. Other say that his reference to brothers is synonymous to cousins, which is how it was used back then, and still used today. \n\nOn Suday of Resurrection, the History Channel had a program about him, and on this topic you have brought up. The web History Channel web site might provide links to that show, as well as internet links to follow up on this subject.

No, the Bible, nor any other manuscript says that they were married. The Da Vinci Code is a lie, and attempts to undermine the Christian faith. Jesus came for one reason, to save mankind!

Hebrew bloodlines are traced through the mother,Mary is a direct decendant of king david and the tribe of judea,the bible breaks it down if you're really that interested.

We know from Jewish records of familiy history that Mary was born at home, but after being weaned from her mother, she was sent to live in the temple, as were many other girls and boys during this time and culture.\n\nShe was raised and educated in the temple until she was close to puberty.  Boys could live in the temple past puberty, but girls could not, as they would be defiling the temple at the onset of puberty as per levitical law.\n\nWhen she was brought back home, her parents set out to marry her off and Joseph was the one chosen to be her husband.  From this point on, there was a one year waiting period in which she would continue to live at home and wait for Joseph to come and claim his bride.\n\nThere is actually more of Mary's childhood written in the Quran (copied from Jewish records) than in the bible. I find that quite interesting especially from those who claim that the bible was put together by Catholics for Catholics, as they would have put everything they could have about Mary if they had put the bible together.\n\nThere are also some false writing that have endured over the years about both Mary and Joseph.  You would have to compare them to secular records of times of births and deaths to try and judge truthfullness and accuracy.\n\nI have not researched Joseph's background and truthfully there is not much available for research.  There is a lot of speculation, but not much authentic truth to go on.

For Christians (especially Catholics), I guess you could say Mary, the Mother of Jesus.  From a purely secular (yet still hopelessly Western point of view) I guess you could say either Queen Elizabeth or Queen Victoria, both of England.  Queen Elizabeth built the English Empire, harrassed the Spanish to no end, built up the Americas, helped to make England solidly Protestant and executed Mary, Queen of Scots.\nQueen Victoria made a move for popular sexual repression and almost a fear of sexuality, distinctly Protestant in its origins.  This type of sexual repression led to men like Freud, who in turn altered modern society, and perhaps has led us to be an over-sexed society, that might have even made Freud cringe.

Some people believe that he did.  They believe that he and Mary Magdalen married, traveled to India and had children;  The Gypsies from India are Christians, migrated out of India and into Europe and could be the direct or indirect progeny of Jesus and Mary.  Of course those who believe this do not accept Jesus' death on the cross and his ascension into heaven found in traditional Christian theology.

It is generally agreed that the Virign Mary was young when she gave birth to Jesus and that apocrypha claims that she outlived him dying between three and 15 years after the Crucifixion. Little is known about her personal history other than she was the relative of Elizabeth, lived in Nazareth and was engaged to Joseph. The Catholic Encyclopedia claims that she was 14 when the High Priest of the Temple wanted to send her home to prepare for marriage.\n\nIt should also be noted that for much of human history, it was not unusual to be married at 15. Average life expectancy was only 30.

There would be nothing wrong with Jesus having a wife and even children. He would not have violated His perfectness because marriage then was a very sacred thing. Most marriages at that time were arranged and it is quite possible that to hold with the customs of the time Jesus may have had an arranged marriage.\n\nWhether or not He was married to Mary Magdeline is a topic that will be discussed for many years. There is some evidence in the Gospel of Mary that she may have been because Jesus told her things that He did not tell the other disciples. It also says (indicates) Jesus kissed her on the mouth, not done except to a wife at that time.\n\nThose who were chosen to assemble the Bible as we have it today had hundreds of letters and gospels to choose from. Because they wanted to make the Bible masculine they choose mainly those books that carried out this wish of the early mainly Catholic church. They required all the other writtings to be destroyed. Thank goodness they are slowly finding some of the copies that did not get destroyed such as the "Dead Sea Scrolls" and now the most recent Gospel of Judas.\n\nAlthough the De Vinci Code is basically a fictional story, I beleive the reason, especially the Catholic Church is so opposed, the occurances depicted is because it is closer to the truth than they want the people to know. The church has always tried to control the people by fear; something that I have always disliked. By making many things that were not sin into sin they could make the people pay to have forgiveness of these "sins". The church was able to fill their coffers easily in this way and some churches still do this today.\n\nTo me Jesus is a very real person and He is my Savior, but I do not hold with any church because of they way they have lied to their people over the years. You don't have to go to a church to be a Christian...All it requies is a belief and a love for Jesus. there is no other requirement.

Also known as \nHoly Mary of Guadalupe; Virgin of Guadalupe; Maria de Guadalupe \nMemorial \n12 December \nProfile \nGuadalupe is, strictly speaking, the name of a picture, but the name was extended to the church containing the picture and to the town that grew up around the church. It makes the shrine, it occasions the devotion, it illustrates Our Lady. It is taken as representing the Immaculate Conception, being the lone figure of the woman with the sun, moon, and star accompaniments of the great apocalyptic sign with a supporting angel under the crescent. The word is Spanish Arabic, but in Mexico it may represent certain Aztec sounds. \n\nIts tradition is long-standing and constant, and in sources both oral and written, Indian and Spanish, the account is unwavering. The Blessed Virgin appeared on Saturday 9 December 1531 to a 55 year old neophyte named Juan Diego, who was hurrying down Tepeyac hill to hear Mass in Mexico City. She sent him to Bishop Zumárraga to have a temple built where she stood. She was at the same place that evening and Sunday evening to get the bishop's answer. The bishop did not immediately believed the messenger, had him cross-examined and watched, and he finally told him to ask the lady who said she was the mother of the true God for a sign. The neophyte agreed readily to ask for sign desired, and the bishop released him. \n\nJuan was occupied all Monday with Bernardino, an uncle, who was dying of fever. Indian medicine had failed, and Bernardino seemed at death's door. At daybreak on Tuesday 12 December 1531, Juan ran to nearby Saint James's convent for a priest. To avoid the apparition and the untimely message to the bishop, he slipped round where the well chapel now stands. But the Blessed Virgin crossed down to meet him and said, "What road is this thou takest son?" A tender dialogue ensued. She reassured Juan about his uncle, to whom she also briefly appeared and instantly cured. Calling herself Holy Mary of Guadalupe she told Juan to return to the bishop. He asked the sign for the sign he required. Mary told him to go to the rocks and gather roses. Juan knew it was neither the time nor the place for roses, but he went and found them. Gathering many into the lap of his tilma, a long cloak or wrapper used by Mexican Indians, he came back. The Holy Mother rearranged the roses, and told him to keep them untouched and unseen until he reached the bishop. When he met with Zumárraga, Juan offered the sign to the bishop. As he unfolded his cloak the roses, fresh and wet with dew, fell out. Juan was startled to see the bishop and his attendants kneeling before him. The life size figure of the Virgin Mother, just as Juan had described her, was glowing on the tilma. The picture was venerated, guarded in the bishop's chapel, and soon after carried in procession to the preliminary shrine. \n\nThe coarsely woven material of the tilme which bears the picture is as thin and open as poor sacking. It is made of vegetable fibre, probably maguey. It consists of two strips, about seventy inches long by eighteen wide, held together by weak stitching. The seam is visible up the middle of the figure, turning aside from the face. Painters have not understood the laying on of the colours. They have deposed that the "canvas" was not only unfit but unprepared, and they have marvelled at apparent oil, water, distemper, etc. colouring in the same figure. They are left in equal admiration by the flower-like tints and the abundant gold. They and other artists find the proportions perfect for a maiden of fifteen. The figure and the attitude are of one advancing. There is flight and rest in the eager supporting angel. The chief colours are deep gold in the rays and stars, blue green in the mantle, and rose in the flowered tunic. \n\nSworn evidence was given at various commissions of inquiry corroborating the traditional account of the miraculous origin and influence of the picture.

He is who he is but we were comanded to go forth and multiply so why can't this pertain to him as well?  I have been taught that we have mother god but we aren't told anything about her because father god does not want us disrespecting her and befouling her as man has done to him.  so why can't the son of god have a wife and child as well?  There are too many things in the bible that show that Mary was married to Jesus.  Men and women did not touch like they did unless they were at least betrothed back then.
