No, Lazarus did not write the Gospel of John. The Gospel of John is traditionally attributed to the apostle John, not Lazarus.
John never says "believe in the Gospel of John". John says that his gospel was written: "that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name". .....................John20:31
Because the Gospel of John was inspired largely by the Gospel of Luke, whenever John parallels the synoptic gospels it is usually most similar to Luke, except for a small number of passages that came direct from Mark's Gospel. John's Gospel has altered, elaborated and even reversed much of the original, while being careful not to too clearly contradict Luke.Luke and John are the only gospels that mentions Mary and Martha or Lazarus. Luke's Gospel tells of a parable in which Lazarus is resurrected. In John's Gospel, Lazarus, now the brother of Mary and Martha, really is resurrected by Jesus. The similarities could not have come by chance, while the differences are so great that they could not have been the same story, from a common source.Luke's Gospel is the only synoptic account that has Peter run to the tomb and, stooping down, look in and see the linen clothes laid by themselves. A feature of John's Gospel is that it often compares Peter unfavourably with the"disciple whom Jesus loved", and that is the case here, when John has the disciple accompanying Peter, outrunning Peter and seeing the clothes before Peter arrived. Nevertheless, John was careful to agree with Lukein that Peter did go straight to the tomb and see the clothes.The author of John seems to have wanted to place Thomas in an inferior position compared to the other apostles. Luke's Gospel developed the theme of the risen Jesus meeting the apostles at a meal in a room in Jerusalem. John's Gospel maintains that theme, but splits it into two meetings, with Thomas absent from the first and therefore not receiving the Holy Spirit. The final appearance of Jesus, in which he tells the fishermen to cast their nets on the other side, parallels a pre-crucifixion event in Luke's Gospel.
The word "believe" is found 75 times in the NIV Bible's Gospel of John.
