The event (or events – see discussion below) is reported in Matthew 26, Mark 14, Luke 7, and John 12. [2] Matthew and Mark are very similar: Matthew 26:6–13. While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table.
An alternative explanation for the similarities is that the Luke 7 anointing and the anointing at Bethany [9] [10] [11] happened with some of the same participants, but several years apart. [ 12 ] Simon the Leper is also sometimes identified as the same person as Lazarus of Bethany, or identified as his father or brother [ citation needed ] .

Simon was a Pharisee mentioned in the Gospel of Luke (Luke 7:36-50) as the host of a meal, who invited Jesus to eat in his house but failed to show him the usual marks of hospitality offered to visitors - a greeting kiss (v. 45), water to wash his feet (v. 44), or oil for his head (v. 46).
After raising the widow's son at Nain in Luke 7:16, the witnesses say: "A great prophet has arisen among us!"
