Simon

He was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. For although Judas was one of the Twelve, he was later to betray Jesus.

⁴ But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was going to betray Him, asked,

⁵ “Why wasn’t this perfume sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?”

The evening meal was underway, and the devil had already put into the heart of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus.

Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I give this morsel after I have dipped it.” Then He dipped the morsel and gave it to Judas son of Simon Iscariot.

³⁸ After Jesus had left the synagogue, He went to the home of Simon, whose mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever. So they appealed to Jesus on her behalf,

³⁹ and He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And she got up at once and began to serve them.

Jesus got into the boat belonging to Simon and asked him to put out a little from shore. And sitting down, He taught the people from the boat.

But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

⁴³ “I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

⁴⁴ And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give Me water for My feet, but she wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

Simon’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever, and they promptly told Jesus about her.
