It makes Luke also a liar, he writes that he carefully wrote down the events. So, either Luke is a liar, or Mark+Matthew+John are liars.
I leave it at that.
These are strong words. I'm yet to _meet_ a person for whom what I wrote makes the Gospel writers liars or their narratives *very inaccurate*. You are first, but you are online, no name known, no way to know what triggers this (I trust it is not Luke 18:9?).
Have you ever thought why Mark and Matthew (and Luke) do not mention the name of the woman? Just a food for thought. As you "left it at that" no answer expected. I just see that you are making several assumptions (do you realize that you are making them?), for example, if you follow strictly what would be in Luke an answer to Mt 26:13 and Mk 14:9? One thing you can be sure, myself and (most likely) others are reading the text many times and thinking about it before posting comments.
I'm sorry my question brought this off-topic, I really do appreciate that you had raised the main subject, the explanations by Paul and the leprosy (and other) insights by professor writer and I hope to learn more in the future on other Peshitta related subjects from all of you.
