Lazarus
Jesus has many earthly friends. they include lazarus, Martha, and Mary
Martha was the sister of Mary and Lazarus - the very same Lazarus that Jesus raised from the dead after four days. She and her siblings were close friends to Jesus. In the Bible, she is in Luke
He was the brother of Mary and Martha. He died, but then he got better. (He had some help... Mary, Martha, and Lazarus were friends of Jesus.) There is another unrelated Lazarus in a parable told by Jesus. He was a rich man. He also died, but he didn't get better. In fact, he spent eternity in torment.
No he had more beside the 12 disciples, Mary, Martha and Lazarus should be counted.
Mary anointed Jesus before Lazarus died.
Please see previous answers on this. See the Gospel of John, ch. 15 and vs. 14 - Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you We may like to say we are Jesus friends, but if we believe and follow his words, we become his friends by doing his commandment's.
Lazarus did not betray Jesus. Lazarus was a friend of Jesus. He became ill and died. Jesus arrived three days later. His family had great faith, and they lamented that if Jesus had only arrived sooner, He could have healed Lazarus, and Lazarus would have lived. Jesus astonished everyone when he raised his friend from the dead and commanded his to rise up and walk out from his tomb.
Lazarus was Jesus friend whom he loved and Jesus raised him from the dead while he was in the cave and lazarus walked out.
Jesus loves everyone!
The account of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead is found in the Gospel of John, chapter 11.
Jesus welcomed in sinners. He ate with Zaccheas, had his feet washed by the hair of a prostitute (as the story goes), and had a tax collector as a disciple.
