Jesus then calls for someone to remove the grave-cloths, and let him go. The narrative ends with the statement that many of the witnesses to this event ""believed in him."" Others are said to report the events to the religious authorities in Jerusalem. The Gospel of John mentions Lazarus again in chapter 12.

Together with her siblings Lazarus and Mary of Bethany, she is described as living in the village of Bethany near Jerusalem. She was witness to Jesus resurrecting her brother, Lazarus. The name ""Martha"" is a Latin transliteration of the Koine Greek Μάρθα, itself a translation of the Aramaic מַרְתָּא ""Martâ"", ""The mistress"" or ""the lady"", from מרה ""mistress"", feminine of מר ""master"".

Albright identified the village with Ananiah (or 'Ananyab). (Edward Robinson and others, however, identified Ananiah with present-day Beit Hanina.)

"The Raising of Lazarus (Rembrandt) The Raising of Lazarus is an oil-on-panel painting by the Dutch artist Rembrandt from early in his career; it was probably painted between 1630 and 1632. The work depicts the Raising of Lazarus as told in the Gospel of John, Chapter 11. It is in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The painting shows the moment Lazarus re-awakens from death and rises from his tomb as Christ calls him. Lazarus is in the darker half of the painting while the figures at left are far more illuminated than he. Mary and"

"to two known idioms. An illustrative conflation brings together two Roman Catholic saints named Lazarus. One, a lame beggar covered with sores which dogs are licking, appears in the New Testament (Luke 16:19–31). The other, Lazarus of Bethany, is identified as the man whom Jesus raised from the dead (John 11:41–44). The beggar's Feast Day is June 21, and Lazarus of Bethany's day is December 17. However, both saints are depicted with crutches; and the blessing of dogs, associated with the beggar saint, usually takes place on December 17, the date associated with the resurrected Lazarus. The two characters' identities"
"has saved you; go in peace."" Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. Here a dinner was given in Jesus' honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus' feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected, ""Why wasn't this perfume"
"Jesus is at “the place where John had been baptizing”, which in John 1:28 is said to be a place named “Bethany beyond the Jordan”, when Mary arrives and tells him that Lazarus is sick (John 11:1–3). Jesus follows her to another village called Bethany just outside of Jerusalem. In Secret Mark, the woman meets him at the same place, but he never travels to Bethany near Jerusalem. Instead, he just follows her to the young man since he already is in Bethany (beyond the Jordan). In Secret Mark, the young man (Lazarus) and his sister (Mary) are not named,"

The miracle of the raising of Lazarus is the climax of John's ""signs"". It explains the crowds seeking Jesus on Palm Sunday, and leads directly to the decision of Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin to plan to kill Jesus. Theologians Moloney and Harrington view the raising of Lazarus as a ""pivotal miracle"" which starts the chain of events that leads to the Crucifixion of Jesus. They consider it as a ""resurrection that will lead"

This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.""

The name Lazarus, from the Hebrew: אלעזר, Elʿāzār, Eleazar - ""God is my help"", also belongs to the more famous biblical character Lazarus of Bethany, known as ""Lazarus of the Four Days"", who is the subject of a prominent miracle attributed to Jesus in the Gospel of John, in which Jesus resurrects him four days after his death.

"The passage contains dense verbal parallels to the Gospel description of Jesus meeting the demoniac at the land of Gadarenes, who contains a legion of unclean spirits that enter into herd of swine and then drown themselves in the sea. According to Josephus, the Romans captured a ‘mighty prey’ of livestock, but no swine. Atwill conjectures that there were no swine captured because they had all run into the river. The Gospel narratives of Luke 10:38-42 and John 12:2-3 describe a dinner just after Lazarus has been raised from the dead. ""They made him a supper"", John says, and ""Mary"

"Lazarus Saturday Lazarus Saturday in the Eastern Orthodox Church and Oriental Orthodoxy is the day before Palm Sunday to which it is liturgically linked. It celebrates the raising of Lazarus of Bethany, the narrative of which is found in the Gospel of John (). Lazarus Saturday and Palm Sunday together hold a unique position in the church year, as days of joy and triumph interposed between the penitence of Great Lent and the mourning of Holy Week. During the preceding week the propers in the Lenten Triodion track the sickness and then the death of Lazarus, and Christ's journey from"
"local tradition, Saladin met a delegation of Aphram inhabitants during his wars against Crusaders. Impressed by the hospitality of the locals, he named the village Taybeh, or ""goodly"" in Arabic. Another version of the story is that he was charmed by their goodness and the beauty of their faces, ordering the village to be renamed ""Tayyibat al-Isem"" (""beautiful of name"") instead of what sounded like ""Afra"" (""full of dust""). According to the Bible, Jesus, after Lazarus' resurrection, retired with his disciples to this town. John says, ""Since that day on, they (the Pharisees) made the decision to kill him. Jesus"

The evangelist's introduction of Lazarus of Bethany at this point (John 11:1) leads to the discussion of whether Jesus should return to Judea (Jerusalem) in the face of the growing plot against Him.

Theologian Joseph Benson therefore suggests that ""It is probable [that] Lazarus was younger than his sisters"".
