In the Bible are Simon the leper and the pharisee the same person?

Were the owners of the house the same? They were both named Simon, but this was a common name of the time: two of the disciples were named Simon (Simon Peter, Simon the Zealot), as well as Judas Iscariot's father (Jn 6:71) and one of Jesus' brothers (Mk 6:3). One Simon is described as a Pharisee and the other as "Simon the Leper". Since "Pharisee" only means that one adhered to the beliefs of that sect, a leper could theoretically be a Pharisee, albeit a permanently unclean one. But if a man is a leper, and known as "Simon the Leper," it's unlikely he would be described simply as a Pharisee.


Are Saint Simon and Saint Peter one and the same?

Was the apostle Peter also called Simon Cephas of Tarsus?

"Peter" is named five different ways:"Peter," in Matthew 14:28"Simon" in Luke 22:31"Simon Peter" in Matthew 16:16"Symeon" at Acts 15:14"Cephas" at John 1:42But it was the Apostle Paul who was from Tarsus.Roman Catholic AnswerTo shed some light on the confusion, his name was Simon, that was his Jewish name in Aramaic. Jesus gave him the name "rock" in Matthew 16:18. The word for "rock" is Kephas or Cephas in Hebrew, and Petros (feminine) or Petras (masculine) (most other languages have gender in their words) in Greek (from which we get the name Peter).

In the Bible why did Paul refuse to teach Peter how to perform miracles?

Nowhere.I think the story that you are referring to, is where a certain man of Samaria, a sorcerer, named Simon, (not the same Simon, as Simon Peter that it seems you are confusing him with), became converted to Christianity. He (Simon the sorcerer)saw how when Peter or disciples laid hands on someone, they received the Holy Ghost, evidenced at the time by tongue speaking, and prophesying. So he wanted this power for himself and so he went to Peter to ask him, how much must he pay to get this power. Simon the sorcerer, apparently thought miracles were like magic tricks that could be paid for. Peter basically told him to get lost, and repent, or God will put a hurting on him, Simon of course got scared at that point, and backed off, even asking Peter to pray that God wouldn't do this. This story is in Act 8:8-24.
