Dinner With Lazurus

According to John 12:1 six days before Passover Jesus visited Lazurus, whom he had risen from the grave the previous year. Dinner was served by Lazurus' sister, Martha. His last miracle.

"Silami?" Aramaic for 'how are you doing?' must have been his Resurrectionist's greeting.

"Better than being dead or in Beersheba," Lazurus have joked.

"Anidanidi weyini ina yemībela negeri inidēti newi?" offered Jesus

"Love some."

This conversation is pure conjecture, since no one possessed a divine cellphone to record the dinner for the New Testament, but the Passaich fare was traditionally lamb and pita bread as ascribed by the tradition of High Holy Day celebrating the slaughter of the First Born to free the Hebrews from Egypt. Jehovah was a motherfucker.

After the feast Lazurus' other sister Mary about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. John 12:3.

As a child in Catholic school, the nuns taught that Mary Magdalene anointed the Messiah's feet, but it was Mary of Bethany based on Mrk 14:7

Judas objected, "“Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages.” 12:5.

“Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial. You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.John 12:7-8.

Luke 7;16 remarked a woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee's house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. The other books lean toward Mary of Bethany. A pure woman as was Mary Magdalene was a wealthy follower of Jesus much maligned by the Church since Pope Gregory's Easter sermon portraying Mary Magdalene as a repentant prostitute or promiscuous woman .

Later that week God's Only Son on the Cross called out, "Oh Lord why has Thou forsaken me?"

Mind that there was no capitalization in Aramaic.

Neither was there any further mention of Lazurus in the New Testament, although he and his sisters were rumored to have fled Judah to settle in Marseilles along with Mary Magdalene.

All of this coming from word of mouth.

And according to James Steele, "All stories are true, if interesting."
