TODAY'S BIBLE TWEET

BIBLE TEXT: “And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever…” (Mark 1:29-30a KJV)

BIBLE TWEET: Contrary to Catholicism’s clerical celibacy and to its contention that Peter was the first Pope, Peter was neither a pope nor celibate, as Jesus’ healing of Peter’s mother-in-law proves.

BIBLE TAKEAWAY: Contrary to The Irish Rover, a student newspaper at Notre Dame University, Peter did not deny Jesus three times because Jesus healed his mother-in-law. Instead, Peter was actually anxious over his mother-in-law’s illness, appealed to Jesus to heal her, and was appreciative to Jesus for her healing.
