Did you know some of Jesus's disciples had children ? (Peter: He was definitely married, as the Gospels mention Jesus healing his mother-in-law (Matthew 8:14). Early church traditions and non-canonical texts reference him having a daughter, sometimes named Saint Petronilla, or children named Joel and Sabistha. Philip: The Bible and early writings mention Philip as having four daughters who were prophetesses. Early apocryphal lists also attribute a son and a daughter to the Apostle Philip. Jude (Thaddeus): Historical records from the early church historian Hegesippus note that the grandsons of Jude were brought before Emperor Domitian, confirming Jude had descendants. Judas Iscariot: Some biblical scholars interpret certain Psalms (Psalm 109:9) applied to Judas in Acts 1:20 as an indication that he had a wife and children. Other Apostles: According to early non-canonical records, apostles like Andrew, Bartholomew, and Matthew also had wives and children, while James, John, and Thomas are said to have remained celibate.)
