Best Answer

A:

There are only two people called Lazarus in The Bible, although they share much more than their name in common.

Luke contains a brief story of Jesus visiting the sisters, Mary and Martha, while Lazarus is only in a parable (Luke 16:20-31 ) that mentions his death and resurrection hypothetically. .

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 the author of John from Luke's Gospel.
