In John 11 who is the man Jesus raise up the dead?
The man's name was Lazarus. He was the brother of Mary and Martha. John explains that it was that Mary of Bethany who had anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped His feet with her hair. Joh 11:2 (This Mary was the one who poured the perfume on the Lord's feet and wiped them with her hair; it was her brother Lazarus who was sick.)
What friend did Jesus raise from the dead?
Two differences between the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) and John's Gospel are that in John, many of Jesus' close friends were rich or powerful members of society, and that he seems to reserve his best miracles for his rich friends. The most awe-inspiring miracle, unknown to the synoptic authors, was when Jesus raised his friend Lazarus, brother of Mary and Martha, from the dead. Lazarus had been dead for four days and his body stank.
What chapter of the Bible did Jesus raise Lazarus?
Matt. 28:1-8, Mk 16:1-8; Lk 24:1-10; Jn 20:1-8
Why did Jesus weep in John 11?
Lazarus was well liked by all the Jews in the area but was a close friend to Jesus and his followers. He felt the remorse which all felt. This was put in to show the compassion that Jesus had.Whether this story is true or not, it is a great story to teach each of us, regardless of what we think of religion, that we should have compassion and care for our fellow man.Answer:Jesus wept for the people's lack of faith and understanding of the God they professed... not for His sadness over Lazarus's death.He was about to raise Lazarus out of death to reveal to these faithless people God's power and majesty. What was there about that to cry about?Jesus wept for the "darkness" and "unbelief" in which the people lived."...'Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?' So they took away the stone."Then Jesus looked up and said, 'Father, I thank you that you have heard Me. I knew that you always heard Me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent Me." (John 11:40-42 NIV)"...the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom [both the carnal minded result of the lack of divine understanding]: but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the Power of God, and the Wisdom of God." (I Cor.1:22-24)Jesus wept for the people's lack of understanding and belief... not for the loss of His friend Lazarus.
Whom did Jesus raise from the dead?
Most famously, Lazarus. Eventually, everyone. In addition, a widow's son, and the 12-year-old daughter of a temple official called Jairus.
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.
What does the raising of Lazarus mean?
The raising of Lazarus is a miracle performed by Jesus, as recorded in the New Testament. It demonstrates Jesus's power over death and serves as a prelude to his own resurrection. This event also emphasizes the importance of faith and belief in Jesus's teachings.
How did Lasarus die the second death?
A:The similarity of the stories of Lazarus, Martha and Mary in Luke's Gospel and John's Gospel can lead the casual reader to believe that the same Lazarus died and was resurrected twice. The confusion can be cleared up by understanding that John's Gospel was actually inspired by Luke's Gospel. It can then be understood that the author of John took the story from Luke and reworked it, producing a completely different but parallel story about Lazarus. In Luke's Gospel, Martha and Mary are sisters and friends of Jesus, but are not related to Lazarus. 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.John's Gospel says that Lazarus was the brother of Jesus' very close friends, Martha and Mary. His exact cause of death was unimportant, because Jesus was to raise Lazarus from the dead after several days. Having been raised from the dead, Lazarus was still mortal and would die again one day. The gospel does not say anything about the final death of Lazarus, although it does say that the priests talked about having Lazarus killed (John 12:10).For theological reasons, the author of John wanted to make the resurrection of Lazarus the final trigger for the arrest of Jesus. He therefore moved the Cleansing of the Temple out of the way, to the beginning of his story, almost immediately after Jesus met John the Baptist. In John 12:19, the turning point is identified: "The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.")
When Joseph died why did Jesus not resurrect him as he did Lazarus?
Luke and John are the only gospels that mention sisters called Mary and Martha, and 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).Scholars say that John's Gospel was inspired by Luke's Gospel, although it does not follow Luke as closely as, for example, Luke follows Mark. The many similarities of the two stories about the resurrection of Lazarus show that the account in John should not be read literally, especially as the other three gospels never mention this, the most awe-inspiring miracle of Jesus.Luke, characteristically, wanted a story where the poor man triumphed over the rich man in heaven. John, characteristically, wanted to demonstrate the divine power of Jesus. The ancients believed that the soul left the body three days after death, meaning that even a god could no longer resurrect the dead person. In John's Gospel, Mary emphasised that Lazarus had been dead for four days, yet Jesus was easily able to raise him from the dead. Thus, we should read the story of the resurrection of Lazarus allegorically.Apart from faith, there is no good reason to believe that Jesus was able to raise his father from the dead.
