Then on leaving the synagogue they came at once, with James and John, to the house of Simon and Andrew.

Now Simon's mother-in-law was ill in bed with a fever, and without delay they informed Him about her.

And Simon and the others searched everywhere for Him.

These twelve were Simon (to whom He gave the surname of Peter)

Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Cananaean,

Now when He was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the Leper, while He was at table, there came a woman with a jar of pure, sweet-scented ointment very costly: she broke the jar and poured the ointment over His head.
