Lazarus of Bethany is a figure of the New Testament whose life is restored by Jesus four days after his death. The resurrection is considered one of the miracles of Jesus. In the context of the seven signs in the Gospel of John, the raising of Lazarus at Bethany - today the town of Al-Eizariya in the West Bank, Palestine, which translates to "the place of Lazarus" - is the climactic narrative: exemplifying the power of Jesus "over the last and most irresistible enemy of humanity: Death.
A distinct character of the same name is also mentioned in the Gospel of Luke in Jesus' parable of the rich man and Lazarus, in which both eponymous characters die, and the former begs for the latter to comfort him from his torments in hell.
