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.

In the Bible, the rich man and the poor man are characters in a parable told by Jesus. The rich man lived a luxurious life while the poor man, named Lazarus, suffered in poverty.

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.

What does the raising of Lazarus mean?
There are actually two stories of the raising of Lazareth.In Luke, the story is a parable told by Jesus and was intended to explain a moral principle. Luke, characteristically, wanted a story where the poor man triumphed over the rich man in heaven. Some say that the inspiration for this story was a much older Egyptian myth probably known to Luke.The author of John changed the story, while keeping the main characters from Luke: Mary, Martha and Lazarus. This time, Jesus really did raise Lazarus, demonstrating his awsome power.

When did Jesus first visit Mary and Martha?
Answer The Gospel according to John records Jesus visiting Martha and Mary on two occasions: the first was after the death of their brother, Lazarus (John 11:1) and the second was the week before Passover (John 12:1). Upon considering how Jesus reacted to the death of Lazarus (He wept and people remarked how much Jesus loved Lazarus) it is quite safe to assume that Jesus was well known to the family and had visited on previous occasions.
