A:This miracle is in John's Gospel only and the gospel does not say, although it does say that the priests talked about having Lazarus killed (John 12:10). Presuambly they would not have done so because he had become so famous among the Jews and his resurrection was in this gospel the trigger for the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus (John 12:19): "The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him. " In spite of this, no contemporary account ever mentions Lazarus and no other gospel author seems to have known of the miracle of raising Lazarus.

The nearest parallel we have to the miracle of the resurrection of Lazarus is a parable in Luke's Gospel, which tells of Lazarus hypothetically raised from the dead. John's story has so many parallels to this parable (and even includes the sisters Mary and Martha) that it could be regarded as based on it, in which case Lazarus was not really a historical person, was never raised from the dead and did not live afterwards.

What happened to Lazarus?

In the Bible, Lazarus was a man who Jesus brought back to life after he had been dead for four days. After being resurrected, Lazarus continued living on earth until he died a natural death many years later. Some traditions believe Lazarus eventually became a bishop and spread Christianity.


Did Lazarus die?

A:There are two persons called Lazarus in the New Testament. The first is in a parable in Luke's Gospel, which tells of Lazarus hypothetically raised from the dead. This Lazarus was not intended to be understood as a real person, so the question does not apply. The second is in John's Gospel, which says that Jesus raised him from the dead after several days. The gospel does not say anything about the second death of Lazarus, although it does say that the priests talked about having Lazarus killed (John 12:10). John's Gospel as a whole is loosely based on Luke's Gospel, and it can be demonstrated that this story of Lazarus was inspired by Luke's parable about the other Lazarus. Thus, even John's Lazarus was not a real person. John's Gospel does not say that Lazarus died, but there is nothing in the story to suggest that he would live forever.

Did Lazarus die again after his resurrection?

Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead:-Joh 11:43-48 KJV And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. (v.44) And [Lazarus] that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. (v.45) Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. (v.46) But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done. (v.47) Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. (v.48) If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.Jesus then went to a city called Ephraim with His disciples:-Joh 11:53-57 KJV Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him [Jesus] to death. (v.54) Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.(v.55) And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves. (v.56) Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast? (v.57) Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him [Net Bible: "arrest him"].The NET Bible Notes on John 11:54 place Ephraim about 19-24 km Northeast of Jerusalem:-There is no certain identification of the location to which Jesus withdrew in response to the decision of the Jewish authorities. Many have suggested the present town of Et-Taiyibeh, ...If so, this would be 12-15 mi (19-24 km) northeast of Jerusalem.Lazarus may have tried to go back to his "normal" life again, but his life-direction and priorities had now changed. Jesus and the 12 Disciples then returned from Ephraim to Bethany, but there were many more disciples in addition to the 12 main ones, and by this time Lazarus was (understandably!) one of them:-Joh 12:1-2 KJV Then Jesus six days before the passover [ie to be held in Jerusalem] [they] came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. (v.2) There they made him [Jesus] a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.As Lazarus was walking proof of Jesus' miracle-working ability, the Pharisees wanted to kill him as well:-Joh 12:9-11 KJV Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead. (v.10) But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death; (v.11)Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.Secular records may show what happened to Lazarus and where he went, but the Bible has no furthur record of Lazarus.
