If by chance you come across the hype on Facebook about Jesus having a wife (hahahaha) Well here are some facts about this so you can knowledgeably talk to non-believers or to those who are weak in their faith and might actually fall prey to believing such non-sense!

The results of the lengthy study of the “Jesus’ Wife fragment” have recently been published in the Harvard Theological Review.  You can download a pdf file of the article by clicking in icon in the upper right hand corner. Here is the fragmentary translation provided in this article.

1 ] “not [to] me. My mother gave me li[fe . . .”

5 ] . . . she is able to be my disciple . . [

8 ] . an image . . . [

Please ignore the inevitable hype in the uncomprehending media.

The fragment dates to the eight century AD, although they may be a late copy of an earlier text.  It therefore provides no evidence whatsoever as whether or not Jesus was actually married.  Instead, it tells us that some later Christians believed Jesus was married.

Note that this fragment should not be called “The Gospel of Jesus’ Wife,” implying it is a Gospel written by Jesus’ wife.  Rather it is a document ( … ) that mentions Jesus having a wife.
