Matthew Poole and continuators on John 12:2

That this Supper was made in Bethany, is no question; but at whose house there, it is questioned; some think that it was at the house of Simon the Leper, we read indeed of a Supper made for our Saviour at his house, both Matth. 26.6, 7. and Mar. 14.3. and that Simon is said to have been of Bethany ▪ onely the Supper here mentioned, is said to have been six days before the Passover, and that mentioned by Matthew and Mark, seems to have been but two days before, Matth. 26.2. Mark 14.1. That which is probably said to solve that difficultly is, the circumstances of the Supper, and history about it, seem the very same, both in Matthew, Mark and Iohn: but it seems in Matthew and Mark, to be a little put out of order; they do not say, that this Supper was two days before the Passover, (that indeed had been a contradiction to what Iohn doth here relate) but both Matthew and Mark first tells us, that Christ told his Disciples, that the Passover was to be within two days; and of the Counsel taken by the chief Prists and Elders against Christ, and then relateth the story of this Supper; Iohn first gives us an account of this Supper, which was six days before the Passover, so Iohn seems to have related it in its proper time and order.
