Bible verses about "lazarus" | WNT

³⁸ Jesus, however, again restraining His strong feeling, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone had been laid against the mouth of it. ³⁹ "Take away the stone," said Jesus. Martha, the sister of the dead man, exclaimed, "Master, by this time there is a foul smell; for it is three days since he died." ⁴⁰ "Did I not promise you," replied Jesus, "that if you believe, you shall see the glory of God?" ⁴¹ So they removed the stone. Then Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard me. ⁴² I know that Thou always hearest me; but for the sake of the crowd standing round I have said this--that they may believe that Thou didst send me." ⁴³ After speaking thus, He called out in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out." ⁴⁴ The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped in cloths, and his face wrapped round with a towel. "Untie him," said Jesus, "and let him go free."

¹ Jesus, however, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was whom He had raised from the dead.

¹⁹ "There was once a rich man who habitually arrayed himself in purple and fine linen, and enjoyed a splendid banquet every day, ²⁰ while at his outer door there lay a beggar, Lazarus by name, ²¹ covered with sores and longing to make a full meal off the scraps flung on the floor from the rich man's table. Nay, the dogs, too, used to come and lick his sores. ²² "But in course of time the beggar died; and he was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and had a funeral. ²³ And in Hades, being in torment, he looked and saw Abraham in the far distance, and Lazarus resting in his arms. ²⁴ So he cried aloud, and said, "'Father Abraham, take pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.' ²⁵ "'Remember, my child,' said Abraham, 'that you had all your good things during your lifetime, and that Lazarus in like manner had his bad things. But, now and here, he is receiving consolation and you are in agony. ²⁶ And, besides all this, a vast chasm is immovably fixed between us and you, put there in order that those who desire to cross from this side to you may not be able, nor any be able to cross over from your side to us.' ²⁷ "'I entreat you then, father,' said he, 'to send him to my father's house. ²⁸ For I have five brothers.

¹ Now a certain man, named Lazarus, of Bethany, was lying ill-- Bethany being the village of Mary and her sister Martha. ² (It was the Mary who poured the perfume over the Lord and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.) ³ So the sisters sent to Him to say, "Master, he whom you hold dear is ill." ⁴ Jesus received the message and said, "This illness is not to end in death, but is to promote the glory of God, in order that the Son of God may be glorified by it." ⁵ Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. ⁶ When, however, He heard that Lazarus was ill, He still remained two days in that same place. ⁷ Then, after that, He said to the disciples, "Let us return to Judaea." ⁸ "Rabbi," exclaimed the disciples, "the Jews have just been trying to stone you, and do you think of going back there again?" ⁹ "Are there not twelve hours in the day?" replied Jesus. "If any one walks in the daytime, he does not stumble--because he sees the light of this world. ¹⁰ But if a man walks by night, he does stumble, because the light is not in him." ¹¹ He said this, and afterwards He added, "Our friend Lazarus is sleeping, but I will go and wake him." ¹² "Master," said the disciples, "if he is asleep he will recover." ¹³ Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought He referred to the rest taken in ordinary sleep. ¹⁴ So then He told them plainly,
