Strong's Lexicon

Lazaros: Lazarus

Original Word: Λάζαρος
Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine
Transliteration: Lazaros
Pronunciation: LAH-zah-ros
Phonetic Spelling: (lad'-zar-os)
Definition: Lazarus
Meaning: Lazarus, Eliezer, (a) the beggar, (b) the brother of Martha and Mary, of Bethany.

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew name אֶלְעָזָר (Eleazar), meaning "God has helped."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: H499 (אֶלְעָזָר, Eleazar)

Usage: In the New Testament, the name Lazarus is associated with two distinct individuals. The first is Lazarus of Bethany, the brother of Mary and Martha, whom Jesus raised from the dead (John 11). The second is the poor man in Jesus' parable of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31). Both instances highlight themes of divine intervention, resurrection, and the reversal of earthly fortunes in the afterlife.

Cultural and Historical Background: The name Lazarus was common in Jewish culture, reflecting a reliance on God's help. In the context of the New Testament, Lazarus of Bethany's resurrection is a pivotal miracle that foreshadows Jesus' own resurrection and serves as a testament to His divine authority. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus, meanwhile, reflects Jewish beliefs about the afterlife and the moral responsibilities of wealth.
