6–13. THE FEAST IN THE HOUSE OF SIMON THE LEPER
Mar 14:3-9; Joh 12:1-8
St John’s narrative places this incident on the evening of the Sabbath—the last Sabbath spent by Jesus on earth—before the triumphal entry. St Matthew has here disregarded the strictly chronological order. A comparison with St Mark will shew how accurately the words of Jesus are remembered, the rest of the incident is told in somewhat different language.
Compare a similar act of devotion on the part of a ‘woman that was a sinner’ (Luk 7:36-39).
