Bible Person

Wife of Simon

Female · 3 cross references

This entry refers to Simon Peter's wife, who remains unnamed in the Gospels but is present through the family household scene in Capernaum. She belongs to the quiet domestic setting that reminds readers the apostolic world included ordinary family life. First appears in Matt 8:14.1

AI summary: Simon's wife matters because the cross references imply the household structure around Peter without turning her into a public narrative figure. Her presence, together with that of her mother, grounds Jesus' ministry in real homes and relationships rather than abstract religious space. Taken together, the material presents this unnamed wife as part of the intimate family world within which early discipleship, healing, and hospitality are lived out.1
