Hadith.4916 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said:
"It was said to Isa (as) (Jesus), the son of Mariyum {s.a} (Mary): 'Why do you not marry?'
Isa (as) replied: 'And what would I do with marriage?'
They said: 'Children would be born to you.'
Isa (as) said: 'And what would I do with children? If they live, they will lead to trials, and if they die, they will cause me sorrow.'"
4916 - وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "قِيلَ لِعِيسَى اِبْنِ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَا لَكَ لاَ تَتَزَوَّجُ فَقَالَ وَ مَا أَصْنَعُ بِالتَّزْوِيجِ قَالُوا يُولَدُ لَكَ قَالَ وَ مَا أَصْنَعُ بِالْأَوْلاَدِ إِنْ عَاشُوا فَتَنُوا وَ إِنْ مَاتُوا أَحْزَنُوا".
