Was Simon the leper Lazarus father?

In the New Testament, Simon the leper is mentioned in the context of a meal that Jesus attends in Bethany, while Lazarus is known as the man whom Jesus raised from the dead. The Bible does not explicitly state that Simon the leper is Lazarus's father. However, some interpretations and traditions suggest a possible connection, but it remains unconfirmed in the scriptural texts. Overall, there is no definitive evidence to establish Simon as Lazarus's father.

When did Saint Martha die?

It is not known how St. Martha died. She was the sister of Mary of Bethany. You can read about her in the Bible (Luke & John). She prepared a meal for Jesus and his disciples then went to Jesus and complained Mary did nothing while she had to do all the work. Jesus reminded her that Mary had chosen 'the best part.' St. Martha was at the tomb of her brother Lazarus. She has great faith that her brother will rise again in the resurrection on the last day and Jesus confirms this. The cult of St. Martha started approximately in the year 1200. No one knows where or how she died or if it was a martyr's death or a natural one. She is the patroness for whom Jesus was like family and therefore, a powerful one in the presence of God because she took care of the hungry and the followers of Jesus knew her as the Patroness of housewives, waiters and waitresses.


I am researching women in the bible and i would like to find out more about Martha lazarus sister?

Bonds of affection existed between Jesus and Martha, Mary, and Lazarus because it was said: "Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus."---Joh 11:5. On one occasion when Jesus visited the home of Lazarus, Mary, and Martha, Mary "sat down at the feet of the Lord and kept listening to his word," whereas Martha "was distracted with attending to many duties." Martha tried to get Mary's help, saying: "Lord, does it not matter to you that my sister has left me alone to attend to things? Tell her, therefore, to join in helping me." Obviously Martha was concerned about satisfying Jesus' material needs. But Christ then emphasized the excelling value of spiritual things and gave her kind reproof, saying: "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and disturbed about many things. A few things, though, are needed, or just one. For her part, Mary chose the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her." (Lu 10:38-42) Christ would have been satisfied with one item of food if his doing so would mean that Martha, too, would gain greater advantage from his teaching. This didn't mean that she lacked interest in spiritual matters. After the death of Lazarus, it was Martha who went to meet Jesus as he journeyed to Bethany. Martha showed faith in Christ when she said that Lazarus would not have died if Jesus had been present. She also acknowledged: "I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day," showing she believed in the resurrection. During that conversation Jesus explained that he is "the resurrection and the life," pointing out that though one exercising faith in him died, he would come to life. When Christ asked Martha, "Do you believe this?" she clearly showed her faith by replying: "Yes, Lord; I have believed that you are the Christ the Son of God, the One coming into the world." (Joh 11:19-27) At Lazarus' tomb, when Christ ordered that the stone be taken away, Martha said: "Lord, by now he must smell, for it is four days." But in response Jesus asked: "Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?" That she witnessed when her brother was resurrected.---Joh 11:39-44. After the resurrection of Lazarus, Christ departed. Later, he returned to Bethany and gathered with others, including Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, in the home of Simon the leper. An evening meal had been prepared and again "Martha was ministering." The Scriptures are silent regarding subsequent events in Martha's life and the time and circumstances of her death.

Did the virgin Mary kiss Jesus feet at the crucificion?

It is not mentioned in the Bible that she kissed his feet (most probably Jesus was too high up for her to reach) but she did stay by the cross on the hill with saint John as he was dying, when many others had left.Suggestion: Perhaps you are thinking of the woman who anointed Jesus' feet with nard (a very expensive perfume) while he was having a meal in the house of an acquaintance. In three Gospel accounts this woman is not named, but in the Gospel of John she is identified as Mary the sister of Lazarus and Martha. The Gospel of Luke adds the detail that she kisses Jesus' feet.
