Bible Question: I would like to know if the same Lazarus that the rich man asked to give him a drip of water is the same one that Jesus called from the tomb? If it is the same person I would like to know how the two stories relate. I would also like to know which was the 1st death and which was the second? Could someone please help me understand the corelation. Thank you so very much. |
Bible Answer: Just an additional info, if you would like to find them in the scriptures. Lazarus an abbreviation of Eleazar, whom God helps. (1.) The brother of Mary and Martha of Bethany. He was raised from the dead after he had lain four days in the tomb (Joh 11:1-44). This miracle so excited the wrath of the Jews that they sought to put both Jesus and Lazarus to death. (2.) A beggar named in the parable recorded Lu 16:19-31. God bless, |
