The story of Martha, Mary and Lazarus is to be found in John's Gospel only. It is never mentioned in any of the other gospels, although John says that Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead after several days, in possibly his greatest miracle. However, Martha, Mary and Lazarus are mentioned in Luke's Gospel.in two stories that are different yet surprisingly parallel to the one story in John's Gospel.

In Luke's Gospel, Martha and Mary are sisters and friends of Jesus, but do not have a brother called 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. 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.

Martha, Mary and Lazarus were not real people and had no father.

Who was lazarus father?

Lazarus, a figure in the New Testament of the Bible, is known as the brother of Mary and Martha of Bethany. The Gospels do not mention his father's name, so it remains unspecified. In biblical narratives, the focus is primarily on his relationship with Jesus and the miracle of his resurrection. Thus, the identity of Lazarus's father is not a point of emphasis in the scriptures.
