The raising of Lazarus is only recorded in the Gospel of John because it serves as a significant event that highlights Jesus' power over death and foreshadows his own resurrection. This story emphasizes John's theme of Jesus as the source of eternal life and the importance of belief in him as the Son of God.

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.

WHAT DID JESUS COMMAND LAZARUS TO DO?

Jesus commanded Lazarus to come out of the tomb after he had died. This event is recorded in the Gospel of John (11:43-44), where Jesus calls Lazarus by name, and Lazarus emerges from the grave, still wrapped in burial cloths. This miracle demonstrated Jesus' power over death and foreshadowed his own resurrection.


How many years did Lazarus live after he was raised from the dead?

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.
