CHT | S2E7: The Real Peter - the Apostle to the Jews

[@emilyolson5624]

What proof is there that Peter was married? I ask after having dealt with the group who tend to place him on a very, very, very high pedestal!

Sure thing, I'll give you two, one from the gospels and one from the epistles: Matthew 8:14-15 is a story about Peter's mother-in-law (wife's mother) being healed of a fever. 1 Corinthians 9:5 is Paul saying, "Do we not have the right to take along a believing wife, as do the other apostles, and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?" Cephas, here, is one of Peter's names. Hope that helps!
