Mary's brother living at the time of the New Testament
Lazarus
The brother of Martha and Mary of Bethany, whom Jesus loved (John 11:1–5). He fell ill and died while Jesus was away. Jesus came, wept, and called, “Lazarus, come out!” and “he who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings” (John 11:38–44). The miracle led many to believe and the chief priests to plot against both Jesus and Lazarus (John 11:45–53; 12:9–11). He is a different man from the beggar in Jesus’ story (Luke 16:19–31).
