June 20 — Was Jesus Married to Mary Magdalene? I’ve had countless Mormons tell me that Jesus was married. The missionaries at my front door not long ago were just the latest example in a long line of those telling me such a tale.
When I ask for biblical proof, they always refer to Mary Magdalene who saw Jesus at the tomb when He was resurrected.
They tell me that Mary referring to Jesus as “Master” is proof because it was a custom back then for the wives to call their husbands by this title. See LDS: Jesus’ Wives Greeted Him at Tomb.
Let’s look at what the Bible has to say!
Mary Magdalene, Judas Iscariot, and the Apostle Peter are a few of the people in the Bible that referred to Jesus as “Master”.
I have to ask…was Jesus married to Peter or Judas?
John 20:16 “Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.”
Matthew 26:25 “Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.”
Mark 9:5 “And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.”
This is a classic example of cult behavior. They’ll take one verse out of context and make a doctrine of it.
Please pray for those who believe the lies of their leaders and for Jesus to intervene!

[…] Was Jesus Married to Mary Magdalene? […]
1 Corinthians 7:32-35
But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
34 there is a difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
35 and this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
Jesus would have never been able to fulfill His divine mission if He were married
Jesus also told John, while He hung on the cross to take care His mother in John 19:26-27. He would have also been obligated to make sure His wife was taken care of if He was married.

Love this – thanks for pointing this out! They’ve made things so complicated when Jesus made things so simple. Sigh…
