Lazarus of Bethany was a biblical figure in the New Testament who was raised from the dead by Jesus. He was the brother of Mary and Martha, and lived in the town of Bethany near Jerusalem. In the Gospel of John, it is recorded that Lazarus had been sick and died, but Jesus raised him from the dead after four days. This event is considered one of the miracles of Jesus, and is a powerful testament to his power and authority. After his resurrection, Lazarus lived out the rest of his life as a witness to the truth of Jesus' teachings. The exact date and manner of his death are not recorded in the bible.
