Mark 1:29-31 And immediately, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.… The Lord chose as the first of His apostles a married man, and after his election to follow the Lord he did not separate from his wife, but the Lord honours the family by sometimes dwelling in their house. St. Paul implies (1 Corinthians 9:5) that at times, at least, she accompanied St. Peter in his journeys. It appears from a very touching account given by , that they were living together when she was called to martyrdom. "They say, accordingly, that Peter, on seeing his wife led to death, rejoiced on account of her call and conveyance home, and called very encouragingly and comfortingly, addressing her by name, 'Remember thou the Lord.' Such was the marriage of the blessed, and their perfect disposition towards those dearest to them." (M. F. Sadler.) Parallel Verses KJV: And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. |
