[edit] Question
So the Bible didn't say why Jesus raised him from the dead? --Menchi 14:09, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- It seems that Jesus was rather upset about the news of Lazarus' death, and also that he was a close personal friend (or friend 'of the family'). The Secret Gospel of Mark may indicate an even closer relationship.--81.156.179.151 20:13, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Osiris
Could we have a name of one of the `scholars` talking about Osiris in this context? In my opinion this paragraph is speculation at best and doesn`t warrant inclusion. User:Andycjp 13th March 2005
- It's been over a year, and no citation has appeared, so I removed the dubious paragraph. Wesley 06:43, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Software
Information on the Lazarus software project has been moved to Lazarus (software) Peter Grey 04:21, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] "Unrelated" uses
The X-files clearly is related, and Swarbrick's group.
Whilst other characters mixes related and unrelated.

[edit] Disambiguation
In the disambiguation page says that this article is about the Lazarous who was raised from the dead by Jesus. All the reference related to the Lazarous of the Parable must been moved to the article Lazarus and Dives.
[edit] Site error?
As of August 26 2006 trying to load the Lazarus article brings up only a blank white screen. Perhaps this is a database error?

Update: As of August 28, this problem seems to have been fixed. JohnH 20:43, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Did Lazarus die a second death?
Just out of interest, since Jesus raised Lazarus from death, would it not be theologically logical (a theological loophole in a way) that Lazarus would just continue to live forever, because biological death was completely reversed (Lazarus had already began to decay)? 6 Nov 06.
Interestingly, in some esoteric circles this is exactly what is believed to have happened. Various esoteric writers have identified figures such as the Comte St Germain and/or Christian Rosenkreutz as being Lazarus. Indeed I have read one author argue that John the Beloved (the disciple mentioned in the Gospel of John as lying on Jesus' breast at the Last Supper) was Lazarus. Interesting ideas.

[edit] Two Different Lazaruses? (Lazarusi?)
The article begins by stating the Lazarus of the parable (Luke 16:19–31) and the Lazarus that Jesus resurrects (John 11:41–44) are two separate characters. However, this assertion doesn’t seem to be defended by citation. While this may be a traditional interpretation of the New Testament, it is not the only one possible. In the alternative, the authors of Luke and John could have been telling radically different stories about the same character named Lazarus. This would be in line with other discrepancies between the gospels, for instance the difference in Jesus’ last words according to Luke 23:46 as opposed to those at John 19:30.
