Usage

In the New Testament, the name Lazarus is associated with two distinct individuals. The first is Lazarus of Bethany, the brother of Mary and Martha, whom Jesus raised from the dead (John 11). The second is the poor man in Jesus' parable of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31). Both instances highlight themes of divine intervention, resurrection, and the reversal of earthly fortunes in the afterlife.
