The meaning of Lazarus in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)
an abbreviation of Eleazar, whom God helps.
The brother of Mary and Martha of Bethany. He was raised from the dead after he had lain four days in the tomb (John 11:1-44). This miracle so excited the wrath of the Jews that they sought to put both Jesus and Lazarus to death. A beggar named in the parable recorded Luke 16:19-31.
