Yes - in Luke and John.
Luke 16:20-31 contains a brief story of Jesus visiting the sisters, Mary and Martha, while Lazarus is in a parable that mentions his resurrection hypothetically. Some see parallels between this story and an earlier Egyptian myth, and believe that the name Lazarus has Egyptian origins.
John 11:43-44 contains an important episode, in which Jesus visited the sisters, Mary and Martha, and resurrected their dead brother, Lazarus. The coincidences of name, death and hypothetical or actual resurrection of Lazarus is taken as strong evidence that the concept was taken by John from Luke's Gospel.

The second Lazarus is in John's Gospel, which says that Jesus raised him from the dead after several days. John's Gospel as a whole is loosely based on Luke's Gospel, and it can readily be demonstrated that this story of Lazarus was inspired by Luke's parable about the other Lazarus. Here, Lazarus is mentioned 11 times.

What books of the Bible mention Martha?
Luke and John are the only books in the Bible that mention sisters called Mary and Martha, and also the only gospels that mention Lazarus:Luke contains a brief story of Jesus visiting the sisters, while Lazarus is in a parable that mentions his resurrection hypothetically (Luke 16:20-31).John wrote an important episode, in which Jesus visited the sisters, Mary and Martha, and resurrected their dead brother, Lazarus (John 11:43-44).The involvement in both gospels of sisters called Mary and Martha is an improbable coincidence. The additional coincidences of name, death and hypothetical or actual resurrection of Lazarus is strong evidence that the two stories were taken by John from Luke's Gospel and the parable about the hypothetical resurrection of Lazarus changed to the story of his miraculous resurrection.
Was the Lazarus who died poor the same as the one Jesus raised?
A:No, there are two persons called Lazarus in the New Testament, however the story of the second Lazarus (in John's gospel) does seem to have been inspired by the first. The first Lazarus is in a parable in Luke's Gospel, where Jesus tells a parable of Lazarus dying and going down to hell where he meets a rich man being punished for his sins. The rich man asks for Lazarus to be raised from the dead so that he can warn his friends of the fate that awaits them. This Lazarus was not intended to be understood as a real person. Here, Martha and Mary are poor people from an unnamed village, sisters and friends of Jesus.In John's Gospel, Martha and Mary are also sisters and friends of Jesus, but apparently wealthy. These sisters have a brother called Lazarus whom Jesus really does raise from the dead. The close parallels are a reminder that John's Gospel is actually based on Luke's Gospel, so that John's one story of Martha, Mary and Lazarus was inspired by Luke's two different stories. Although the account appears intended to be read literally, the literary parallels tell us Lazarus was not a real person either.
