Further Thoughts on Peter and His Wife

I mentioned in the previous post why I think Peter’s wife went with him on his missions. A lot of my opinion is based on the following scripture:

Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? (1 Corinthians 9:5)

The context: In his letter to the Corinthians, Paul refers to Cephas—also known as Peter—of having a wife. Paul is on one of his missions this time while Peter is serving elsewhere.

I further wonder if she got martyred—was she near Peter during his crucifixion? Was she also a victim of Nero’s wrath against the Christians? For sure, she felt the power of Christ with her husband in their house, and they’re home together now.
