I love to believe that this is the same Simon that Jesus healed after coming down from the the sermon at mount of olives

There is no mistranslation in the KJB...it has been perfectly and accurately perserved...
Because there are so many men in the Bible named Simon...This particular Simon was the the title of "the Leper" to distinguish him from the other Simons, and to remind us that he was healed in Mark 1:40 and is now able to fellowship and have people over at his house...he probabley moved from Galilee (if he was a resident there, or could have only visited to be healed) to Bethany

This is a mistranslation. Lepers were not permitted to live in the city (see Leviticus 13:46). Since ancient Hebrew and Aramaic were written without vowels, there was no distinction between the Aramaic words GAR'BA (leper) and GARABA (jar maker or jar merchant). Since in this story a woman pours oil from a jar it is apparent that Simon was a jar merchant or jar maker and not a leper.
