Lazarus in John 11
LAZ-uh-rus
This person shows up in John 11:1: “Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real person in a real place.
John 11:1
“Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.”
