Why would it be noted? The deaths of neither Mary nor Joseph is noted.
John 12:10
‘the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death’
(He’s hiding.)
Lazarus got a second chance to do good in this life and also attest to the power of Jesus. I expect he accepted he would face physical death yet again.
That’s nothing. The Bible says that Adam named the animals, but it doesn’t say who named the VEGETABLES!!!
Or his famous last-last words: “What?? Dead again?”
His last name didn’t happen to be “Long” did it?
He’s a nut, he’s a Freeper, and his name is Lazmataz now.
Nick Cave wrote a great song about this called “Lazarus, Dig Yourself”
Our pastor noted Sunday that all the recorded miracles of Jesus He did for others, not Himself.
In other words, he didn’t make the stones become bread so He could eat, or make water into wine so He could drink, or heal Himself in any miraculous way of any illness He may have had.
I found this interesting.
According to Orthodox tradition Lazarus became a bishop and died peacefully in Cyprus. He never laughed after his return from the grave.
The most likely option is that he died. The question could be asked about others who were raised from the dead through divine intervention. Why worry about Lazarus in particular?
He’s still voting Democrat, if that fact helps.
Lazarus remained at the Bethany home, being the center of great interest to many sincere believers and to numerous curious individuals, until the days of the crucifixion of Jesus, when he received warning that the Sanhedrin had decreed his death. The rulers of the Jews were determined to put a stop to the further spread of the teachings of Jesus, and they well judged that it would be useless to put Jesus to death if they permitted Lazarus, who represented the very peak of his wonder-working, to live and bear testimony to the fact that Jesus had raised him from the dead. Already had Lazarus suffered bitter persecution from them.
And so Lazarus took hasty leave of his sisters at Bethany, fleeing down through Jericho and across the Jordan, never permitting himself to rest long until he had reached Philadelphia. Lazarus knew Abner well, and here he felt safe from the murderous intrigues of the wicked Sanhedrin.
Soon after this Martha and Mary disposed of their lands at Bethany and joined their brother in Perea. Meantime, Lazarus had become the treasurer of the church at Philadelphia. He became a strong supporter of Abner in his controversy with Paul and the Jerusalem church and ultimately died, when 67 years old, of the same sickness that carried him off when he was a younger man at Bethany.
