How long was lazarus dead?
The Bible doesn't elaborate on that as the event was to explain death as sleeping in the tomb (see John 11:11-14). This 'resurrection' was to show the people that Jesus truly is God and can raise the dead - which He will do for all who died at the Judgment process (not a sentencing trial but a chance to repent with full knowledge of God and His Law as it will be written upon their hearts - Ezekiel 11: 18-20).Popular teachings have the dead going immediately to either their reward in heaven or their eternal punishment in hell. This is not biblical but more philosophical (Egyptian, Greek and Babylonian). This example of Lazarus is just one of the teachings on death as sleep. In this event, Lazarus had not gone to either heaven or hell. He had been simply entombed, where he "slept" in death until Jesus called him out of the grave by a miraculous resurrection. It doesn't get any plainer than that.Various stories through the years had Lazarus living either until Jesus' resurrection or a full life of the time. No one knows for sure except that he, like all mankind is surely dead now awaiting the Judgment call.
Was the Lazarus who died poor the same as the one Jesus raised?
A:No, there are two persons called Lazarus in the New Testament, however the story of the second Lazarus (in John's gospel) does seem to have been inspired by the first. The first Lazarus is in a parable in Luke's Gospel, where Jesus tells a parable of Lazarus dying and going down to hell where he meets a rich man being punished for his sins. The rich man asks for Lazarus to be raised from the dead so that he can warn his friends of the fate that awaits them. This Lazarus was not intended to be understood as a real person. Here, Martha and Mary are poor people from an unnamed village, sisters and friends of Jesus.In John's Gospel, Martha and Mary are also sisters and friends of Jesus, but apparently wealthy. These sisters have a brother called Lazarus whom Jesus really does raise from the dead. The close parallels are a reminder that John's Gospel is actually based on Luke's Gospel, so that John's one story of Martha, Mary and Lazarus was inspired by Luke's two different stories. Although the account appears intended to be read literally, the literary parallels tell us Lazarus was not a real person either.
Which disciples did Jesus take with him to raise Jairus daughter?
Three Gospels record this miracle of Jesus. Both Mark (chapter 5 verse 37) and Luke (chapter 8 verse 51) record that Peter, James and John were the disciples present with Him.
How many days has Lazarus been dead before Jesus raised him up?
In John's Gospel, Mary emphasised that Lazarus had been dead for four days, yet Jesus was easily able to raise him from the dead. This was important, because Jews believed that the soul left the body after the third day. John was emphasising the divine power of Jesus.
How did Lasarus die the second death?
A:The similarity of the stories of Lazarus, Martha and Mary in Luke's Gospel and John's Gospel can lead the casual reader to believe that the same Lazarus died and was resurrected twice. The confusion can be cleared up by understanding that John's Gospel was actually inspired by Luke's Gospel. It can then be understood that the author of John took the story from Luke and reworked it, producing a completely different but parallel story about Lazarus. In Luke's Gospel, Martha and Mary are sisters and friends of Jesus, but are not related to Lazarus. Jesus tells a parable of Lazarus dying and going down to hell where he meets a rich man being punished for his sins. The rich man asks for Lazarus to be raised from the dead so that he can warn his friends of the fate that awaits them. This Lazarus was not intended to be understood as a real person.John's Gospel says that Lazarus was the brother of Jesus' very close friends, Martha and Mary. His exact cause of death was unimportant, because Jesus was to raise Lazarus from the dead after several days. Having been raised from the dead, Lazarus was still mortal and would die again one day. The gospel does not say anything about the final death of Lazarus, although it does say that the priests talked about having Lazarus killed (John 12:10).For theological reasons, the author of John wanted to make the resurrection of Lazarus the final trigger for the arrest of Jesus. He therefore moved the Cleansing of the Temple out of the way, to the beginning of his story, almost immediately after Jesus met John the Baptist. In John 12:19, the turning point is identified: "The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.")
What is John's Gospel chapter 11 about?
The story about Lazarus is teaching about how salvation works. Even though we are dead in spirit and way beyond our ability to save ourselves because we are as dead as Lazarus is in our trespasses, there is still the great hope in Jesus and his ability to raise us and save us from our sins apart from us and completely of Him.
What friend did Jesus raise from the dead?
Two differences between the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) and John's Gospel are that in John, many of Jesus' close friends were rich or powerful members of society, and that he seems to reserve his best miracles for his rich friends. The most awe-inspiring miracle, unknown to the synoptic authors, was when Jesus raised his friend Lazarus, brother of Mary and Martha, from the dead. Lazarus had been dead for four days and his body stank.
