Lazarus Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Lazarus was the brother of Mary and Martha, who lived in the village of Bethany (Jhn 11:1). Jesus loved Lazarus and his sisters (Jhn 11:5). When Lazarus fell ill, his sisters sent word to Jesus, but by the time Jesus arrived, Lazarus had been dead for four days (Jhn.11.6,17). Jesus went to the tomb and called for Lazarus to come out, and Lazarus emerged, still wrapped in burial cloths (Jhn 11:43-44). This miraculous sign led many to believe in Jesus (Jhn 11:45). Later, Jesus visited Lazarus' home, where Martha served a meal and Mary anointed Jesus' feet with perfume (Jhn 12:1-3). The chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus because his resurrection caused many to believe in Jesus (Jhn 12:9-11). Lazarus' story demonstrates Jesus' power over death and foreshadows His own resurrection.
