Mentioned in the Bible by name

Simon (the leper)

[Matthew does not specify exactly on which day Jesus was anointed. It may have been two days before Passover, see verse 2, or before the entry into Jerusalem, see John 12:1–8. It may have been breakfast, early lunch, or supper, see Matt. 22:4; Luke 14:12. Regardless of when, the event fits in thematically here to describe how Jesus is being prepared for the cross. The feast is at the home of a man who had suffered from leprosy, which was a severe skin disease. It is clear that he was no longer sick, because if he had been, no Jew could have been in the same room without becoming ceremonially unclean. It is likely that it was Jesus who healed him. Simon was a very common name in Jesus' time, and this Simon is not mentioned anywhere else in the Bible. The siblings Martha, Mary, and Lazarus also lived in Bethany.] Then Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper.

[This event probably took place on the 13th of Nisan, one day before Passover, see verse 1. In 30 CE, the 13th of Nisan began on Tuesday evening and lasted until Wednesday afternoon. The meal may have taken place on Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning and may have been an evening meal or breakfast, see Matt. 22:4; Luke 14:12.]
When Jesus was in Bethany [as a guest] in the house of Simon the leper and was reclining at the table, a woman [Mary, see John 12:3] came with an alabaster jar of perfume (oil for anointing) of precious genuine nard [an exclusive perfume from northern India]. She broke the bottle and poured it over his head.
