Lazarus

Facts:

Lazarus and his sisters, Mary and Martha, were special friends of Jesus. Jesus often stayed with them in their home in Bethany.

Lazarus is best known for the fact that Jesus raised him from the dead after he had been buried in a tomb for several days.
The Jewish leaders were angry at Jesus and jealous that he had done this miracle, and they tried to find a way to kill both Jesus and Lazarus.
Jesus also told a parable about a poor beggar and a rich man in which the beggar was named "Lazarus."

37:01 One day, Jesus received a message that Lazarus was very sick. Lazarus and his two sisters, Mary and Martha, were close friends of Jesus.
37:02 Jesus said, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, and I must wake him."
37:03 Jesus' disciples replied, "Master, if Lazarus is sleeping, then he will get better." Then Jesus told them plainly, "Lazarus is dead."
37:04 When Jesus arrived at Lazarus' hometown, Lazarus had already been dead for four days.
37:06 Jesus asked them, "Where have you put Lazarus?"
37:09 Then Jesus shouted, "Lazarus, come out!"
37:10 So Lazarus came out! He was still wrapped in grave clothes.
37:11 But the religious leaders of the Jews were jealous, so they gathered together to plan how they could kill Jesus and Lazarus.
