Was Lazarus in the New or Old Testament?

Lazarus, the man who was raised, was in the New Testament. There is also a Lazarus as a poor man in one of the parables in Saint Luke's Gospel.


Who wrote the gospel of Judas?

The Gospel of Judas was not actually written by Judas. It is believed to have been written by a group of Gnostic Christians in the 2nd century AD. It was discovered in the 1970s and dates back to around the same time as the other gospels in the New Testament.


What happened to Lazarus?

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. Presumably Lazarus must have died again in good time, but 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, Mary and Martha was inspired by Luke's Lazarus, Mary and Martha. 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.


Did Our Lady see the risen Jesus?

In the original gospel account of the Resurrection, that of Mark's Gospel, no one appears to have seen the risen Jesus, because the gospel originally ended at verse 16:8 when the young man tol the women that Jesus was risen and they fled in terror, telling no one. In the 'Long Ending' (verses 16:9-20) subsequently added to Mark's Gospel, Jesus appeared later to Mary Magdalene and then to "two of them as they walked" and finally to the disciples in the upper room, where he made some final, parting remarks. In the Long Ending, the two walking could be either the two women of Matthew's Gospel or the two men of Luke's Gospel. Unless Mary, mother of Christ, was one of the two, she never saw the risen Jesus. In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary as they returned from the tomb. The gospel does not say who the 'other Mary' was, but it could have been Our Lady. In Luke's Gospel, appeared only to the two men on the road to Emmaeus and then the disciples. Since he was taken bodily up into heaven on the very evening of his resurrection, Mary would not have seen Jesus. In John's Gospel, Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene and the disciples only. In Acts of the Apostles, by the same author as Luke's Gospel but written somewhat later, Jesus remained on earth of forty days after his resurrection and was seen by many. It is most probable that Mary would have seen him.


Who told the disciples that Jesus had risen?

The women who went to the tomb early in the morning on the third day after Jesus' crucifixion were the first to encounter the resurrected Jesus. They were told by an angel at the tomb that Jesus had risen from the dead and instructed to inform the disciples.
