Though actually, the Bible has more than one Lazarus. The poor man in one story and the friend Jesus raised in the other are not the same person; this “coming back” picture is the friend who lived again. Students in Taiwan mostly meet Lazarus as this picture, not as a ’s name.

ChristianitybiblicallifestyleLazarus of Bethany, a man raised from the dead by Jesus Christ and later in Christianity revered as a saint.
- I’ve always been moved by the story of Lazarus as it is recounted in the Gospel of John. The basic shape of the narrative is recognizable and relatable: Someone dies, and the heartbroken family pleads for their loss to be reversed. In the case of Lazarus, Christ is so moved by the family’s grief that he interferes with the natural order of things and grants an exception like no other: He brings the dead man back to life. This makes it an exemplar of a kind of cosmic partiality, what we would all hope for at our most wounded and vulnerable. Caravaggio pins the scene down to its material facts: the confused faces of the onlookers, the downcast faces of the sisters, the necrotic body of Lazarus, the supernatural authority of Christ.
