Question
Is the scripture from Luke, Mark, Matthew all talking about the same Simon the Leper? Is he the pharisee and are they all talking about Mary Magdalene? I believe the scripture from Luke is different from the others, please help if you have ever looked into this. Thanks

Answer
Greg:

    Thank you for your question and for your patience.

    All of these accounts refer to Mary Magdalene and Mary the Mother of Jesus.  There are others mentioned in each of the different Gospels.  I don't think Simon is mentioned.  You may need to refresh my memory on that with specific verses.
