Lazarus was one of Jesus’s closest friends. He was the brother of his two other friends- Martha and Mary. one day when Jesus was out preaching, Lazarus fell ill. The sisters sent for Jesus but he waited two days before coming back. He reached Bethany two days after that and was informed that Lazarus had died. People were angry and asked him why he didn’t come sooner to heal him. He asked them to have faith and take him to Lazarus’s tomb. There he asked for the tomb to be opened and then Lazarus walked out alive. He brought Lazarus back from the dead. It was one of the last miracles he performed before being crucified.
