Bible Question:
John 11:2 seems to suggest that Mary's annointing of Jesus (John 12:3) preceded the ressurection of Lazarus. What confuses me is that the event depicted in John 12:3 actually took place only 6 days before the Passover as evidenced in John 12:1. A similar event is also depicted in Matt 26:7, which occurred 2 days before the Passover. Mattew's account is slightly different in that the woman (no name mentioned) poured the perfume on Jesus' head vice His feet (which is John's account). My questions are: (1) Did the annointing precede the Lazarus ressurrection? (2) Are these annointing events (Matt 26:7 and John 12:3) two separate events? iktoose |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Matt 26:1-13, Mark 14:1-8, Luke 7:36-50, John 11:2, 12:1-8 ... God's day to you, iktoose, When you want to know if events recorded in several places or not it is important to see was is the same and different. Just because they are different, doesn't meean they are ... it is written from the author's point of view, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. I think the timing of the anointings of Jesus, as well as the decription of the woman leads me to think they are ddifferetn events, excpet for Matthew and Mark. Study all the passages to see what you think. Mary may have annionted Him more than once. S |
