You have to read the New Testament Apocrypha to find anything regarding Jesus' younger years. Note that none of these are accepted as canonical.\n\nGospel of Pseudo-Matthew (also called the Birth of Mary and Infancy of the Saviour) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel_of_Pseudo-Matthew\nwhich is based on \n\nProtevangelion of James (also called the Gospel of James) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protevangelion_of_James \n\nInfancy Gospel of Thomas (not to be confused with the Gospel of Thomas) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infancy_Gospel_of_Thomas\n\nLife of John the Baptist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_of_John_the_Baptist\n\nHistory of Joseph the Carpenter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Joseph_the_Carpenter\n\nArabic Infancy Gospel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_Infancy_Gospel\n\nLibellus de Nativitate Sanctae Mariae (also named as the Nativity of Mary) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libellus_de_Nativitate_Sanctae_Mariae

those years werent all that silent heres some verses from when he was a kid\n\n And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.\nThe Boy Jesus at the Temple\n 41Every year his parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover. 42When he was twelve years old, they went up to the Feast, according to the custom. 43After the Feast was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. 44Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends. 45When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him. 46After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you."\n\n 49"Why were you searching for me?" he asked. "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?" 50But they did not understand what he was saying to them.\n\n 51Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart. 52And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

1st, none of us were there. 2nd, we are unaware of ppl's sex lives here on earth today,so, why would Jesus discuss what happens behind closed doors. 3rd, there is no reference in the Bible to prove if He did or didn't. He was human and Divine. A tough combination, that's why God chose Jesus and not any of His other children to die for the sins of the world.

We are saying that the story of Jesus was probably embellished alot down the line. Perhaps he did not claim to be the son of god, maybe he was just a prophet or political activist who gained people's admiration - and ended up being persecuted by the politicians of the time for spreading his political message.

Okay, the big FUSS is that the Christian tradition does not include Jesus being married and having children. The Da Vinci Code is all about the Catholic Church conspiring to keep this "truth" hidden for hundreds of years. Also, the descendents of Jesus have been hidden by the Catholic Church.

mohammed is not mentioned by name in the bible because he came many centuries after the bible was written.  jesus' name is in the qu'ran because it was written by mohammed several centuries after jesus' death.

There are only 3 years of His life followed, because that was the length of his ministry.  The bible is not the story of Jesus' life.  The books; Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are the books that are the Gospel of Jesus.  They are a narrative of His life.  Think of those books as biographies, sort of.

It still is a pack of lies about Jesus Christ. He was never married and had no children. If he had done either, these would have been special events in his life that would have been recorded in the Gospels of the bible. Just like when he attended the wedding at Cana where he turned water into wine.

Greetings,\n\nThere is a huge hole in the life of Jesus as documented in the Bible. That time between 12 and 30 is ample time for many things to happen. When you consider the age of adulthood was 13, he could have had a family. He even would have had time to raise several children to adulthood in that time. \n\nHe could have done all this without sinning. Marriage is not a sin. The psalmist said a man who gets a wife receives favor from God. Jesus certainly had God's favor. Sex is not a sin. Surely it is implicit in the commandment to be fruitful and multiply.\n\nHowever this is all just so much conjecture. Personally I think we are left with the space in Jesus life on purpose. So that we can relate with him right where we are. Left to imagine how Jesus might have related to the circumstances we are in. If it is sinful, he would have no part in it.\n\nI do not know if Jesus was married. He was the Son of God regardless. \n\nI do know that he died and was resurrected on the third day, and he is my savior. He can be your savior too. Pray that the Lord might reveal himself to you, spend time in the Bible, and invite Jesus into your life. Accept the gift of salvation.\n\nGod Bless,\n\nRobert

The Secret Gospel of Mark (not part of the official Christian canon) implies that Jesus had a sexual relationship with Lazarus. \n\nWhether Jesus was gay, or had children with Mary Magdalene, is all just speculation. We really don't know anything about Jesus beyond what's written in the gospels...and the gospels were written long after Jesus' death.

Cain, Abel, and Seth were specifically named in the Bible, but there had to be others, specifically, females-how else would the world be populated.  Just because they aren't all mentioned in the Bible doesn't mean they didn't exist.

Mostly growing up.\n\nThe Bible focuses on the important parts of His life - the Virgin Birth and His ministry.  There just isn't enough room to fit in everything.

As I understand it, it would have been unusual for a Jewish man of Jesus's age not to have been married.\n\nClearly there is no 'evidence' either way ... the Bible is certainly not clear, other (less accepted by the mainstream church) gospels do talk of marriage.\n\nI don't know why so many folks get so stressed that he may have been married even if to MM. \n\nBelieve what you feel in your heart - what someone else believes should not affect what you believe.\n\nPeace, out

Because a LOT of the world population DOES NOT believe or care about a book written by men centuries afterJesus christ's life.\nGet real, the bible is JUST a book, no more, no less!

There are lots of books that weren't included in the bible.\n\nRoman Emperor Constantine had an agenda when he invented his pagan religion and he adopted books that supported his universal pagan religion.\n\nThe "bible" is the invention of a pagan Roman Emperor and has little or nothing to do with Hebrews other than adopting their myths as the foundation for the Jesus myth.

Jesus did not come to talk of Himself!!!--He came to announce the existence of GOD THE FATHER AND HIS KINGDOM AND HOW YOU CAN BE A PART OF IT!!! Jesus plainly stated He would be Head of this Royal Family--but that YOU could also be a son or daughter with GOD!Any other "gospel" is a false gospel that centers on the Messenger(Christ) and NOT on what He preached!!!-I hope you have your answer-good for you for trying to understand the truth!

I think your newspaper made that up 2000 years after Jesus was alive.  There are people who wrote about Jesus's life who lived with him and followed him around everywhere.  They are eyewitness reporters.  You can find their reports about Jesus in the bible, in the New Testament.  Matthew, Mark, Luke and John wrote gospels about him - a gospel is a short story about Jesus that tells the message of why he was born and why he lived.  Luke was a historian who researched and interviewed people everywhere about all of their experiences with Jesus.\n\nNone of these people mention Jesus being married or having a child.  It is lunacy to think that they could have missed somehting that huge about Jesus's life.
