For the last several years, I've been puzzling over the stories of the anointing of Jesus. John says (chap 12) the dinner was at Bethany, Lazarus was there, and Martha served. Luke says (chap 7) the dinner was at Simon the Pharisee's house. Mark says (chap 14) and Matthew says (chap 26) the dinner was at Simon the Leper's.
Topic for Bible study today was John 11, the raising of Lazarus. Pastor mentioned that Pr Wiest suspected that Lazarus ["God is my help"] was possibly an alternate name Jesus gave to Simon the leper, like He gave the name Peter to Simon the fisherman. That really makes a lot of sense.
