Lazarus

"I don't understand. Joseph died and left you a set of tools, a workshop and contacts in the big city..."

- Lazarus

Lazarus is a friend of Jesus who lives in Bethany with his sisters Martha and Mary.

He encounters Jesus after the confrontation with Satan in the desert and takes him home, where he questions why Jesus would abandon the promising prospect of becoming a carpenter for being a wandering teacher and prophet. Jesus explains that he is setting out to build the kingdom of God.

Later, when Jesus has become established, Lazarus becomes very ill and although his friend Reuben asks Jesus for help, Jesus does not arrive in time to save him. However, much to the awe of the onlookers, Jesus visits Lazarus' tomb and calls him out, alive once again.
