Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 2976: ΛάζαροςΛάζαρος, Λαζαρου, ὁ (rabb. לַעְזָר, apparently the same as אֶלְעָזָר, whom God helps (cf. Philo, quis haeres § 12); according to others, equivalent to עֶזֶר לֹא, without help), Lazarus; 1. an inhabitant of Bethany, beloved by Christ and raised from the dead by him: John 11:1ff, 2. an imaginary person, extremely poor and wretched: Luke 16:20, 23-25. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The name Lazarus is derived from the Hebrew name אֶלְעָזָר (Eleazar), which is Strong's Hebrew entry 499. Eleazar means "God has helped" and is a common name in the Old Testament, borne by several individuals, including Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest. Usage: The name Lazarus appears in the New Testament, specifically in the Gospels, referring to two distinct individuals: Lazarus of Bethany, the brother of Mary and Martha, and Lazarus in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. Context: • Lazarus of Bethany: Lazarus is prominently featured in the Gospel of John (John 11:1-44; 12:1-11). He is the brother of Mary and Martha and resides in Bethany. Lazarus is known for being raised from the dead by Jesus, an event that demonstrates Jesus' power over life and death and foreshadows His own resurrection. This miracle is a pivotal moment in the Gospel of John, leading many to believe in Jesus, but also intensifying the plot against Him by the religious leaders. The account emphasizes Jesus' compassion and divine authority, as He weeps for Lazarus and calls him forth from the tomb, saying, "Lazarus, come out!" (John 11:43, BSB).
