Hmmm...I don't know. The first was at Capernaum, and the second at Bethany. They appear to be two different events. (To me)
The only confusing point is that John refers to Mary, sister of Lazarus as "
that Mary" which anointed Jesus' feet BEFORE he accounts Lazarus' death, and the subsequent account of Mary anointing Jesus' feet at the house in Bethany.
I wonder if Mary anointed His feet twice? At the Pharisee's house in Capernaum, and again after Lazarus was raised from the dead?
I'm going to have to do some more reading now. This is starting to get interesting!
I don't think any of the scriptures ever say that Mary, sister of Lazarus was "Mary called Magdalene", or that "Mary called Magdalene" anointed Jesus' feet. Maybe that's just a common assumption?
