Verse 36

And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he entered into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.

This Pharisee was Simon (Luke 7:43); and he may not be identified as Simon the Leper (Matthew 26:6; Mark 14:3; John 12:1f). The circumstances here do not fit the anointing in Bethany at all. Luke's record of another anointing perfectly fits into the pattern he followed throughout the Gospel. See under Luke 7:10.

This Simon was doing what might be called "slumming." He had invited Jesus out for the purpose of studying him; but before the evening ended, Simon found himself the one studied, analyzed and found wanting.
