Lazarus in ancient sources
Lazarus is recorded only in the Gospel of John as a friend of Jesus who was miraculously resurrected by him (see the Raising of Lazarus). Lazarus was the brother of Martha and Mary.
According to the Gospel of John, Lazarus was the one who "six days before the Passover" and before the Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem hosted the banquet in his house at Bethany when his sister Mary anointed Jesus' feet provoking the reaction of Judas Iscariot (see Anointing at Bethany). In Mark and Matthew, the dinner happened after the Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem, the host was "Simon the leper" and an unnamed woman anointed Jesus.
The Gospel of John also refers that there was a Plot to Kill Lazarus by the High Priests, but does not say if it was carried out.
