Talk:Theophylact of Bulgaria

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

According to Adam Clark, Theophylact gives the following of the relationship of Jesus and John the Evangilist (Gospel author), "Theophylact makes him one of the relatives of our Lord, and gives his genealogy thus: 'Joseph, the husband of the blessed Mary, had seven children by a former wife, four sons and three daughters-Martha, (perhaps, says Dr. Lardner, it should be Mary), Esther, and Salome, whose son John was; therefore Salome was reckoned out Lord’s sister, and John was his nephew.' If this relationship did exist, it may have been, at least in part, the reason of several things mentioned in the Gospels: as the petition of the two brothers for the two chief places in the kingdom of Christ; John’s being the beloved disciple and friend of Jesus, and being admitted to some familiarities denied to the rest, and possibly performing some offices about the person of his Master; and, finally, our Lord’s committing to him the care of his mother, as long as she should survive him." - Joel Harris
