Mentioned in the Bible by name

Lazarus (Marthas and Marys brother)

[The name Lazarus comes from the Hebrew name Eliezer, which means "one whom God helps." The English word "hospital" has its origin in the biblical name Lazarus.]
Now there was a man named Lazarus who was sick (weak, powerless). He was from Bethany [just outside Jerusalem], the town where Mary and her sister Martha lived.

It was Mary who [later, at the home of Simon the leper, see John 12:3] anointed the Lord with perfume (oil) and dried his feet with her hair. It was her brother Lazarus who was now sick (weak, powerless).

Jesus loved (selflessly gave to) Martha, her sister [Mary], and Lazarus.

When he had said this, he added, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep (is dead), but I am going there to wake him from his sleep."

Then Jesus told them plainly, "Lazarus is dead,

When he had said this, he cried out in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"

John begins and ends his Gospel with a holy week, see John 1:29–35, 43; 2:1. Six days is the Jewish expression for "a week." Luke uses the Greco-Roman expression "about eight days" for the same period of time, compare Luke 9:28 and Matt. 17:1. It is probably on Friday afternoon, the 8th of Nisan, before the Sabbath begins, that Jesus arrives from Jericho to Bethany, a distance of 25 miles. Bethany means "house of bondage," "house of sorrow," and "house of oppression." It was here that Jesus began his ministry, see John 1:28. Now he ends it and fulfills the Jewish hope of leaving the house of bondage, see Ex. 12.
Six days [one week] before the Passover feast [which began on the 14th of Nisan], Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, the man whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

[John's focus is on Jesus the King. He does not begin the last week as the other Gospels do, with the entry into Jerusalem, but with Jesus being anointed. Note that John does not specify in which house or on which day the supper is held. Since the news of his arrival had spread to Jerusalem, see verse 9, it is likely that it is not the same evening. It may be the next day or even two days before Easter, in which case it is the same event described in Matt. 26:6 and Mark 14:3. In addition to being anointed here in Jerusalem before his death, he was also anointed a few years earlier in Galilee, see Luke 7:36–50.]
There they prepared a dinner (evening meal) for Jesus. Martha served them, and Lazarus was one of those who were always at the table.

A large number of Jews (many of the Jewish inhabitants of Jude) found out that Jesus was there and they came, not only because of Jesus, but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

Then the chief priests planned to kill Lazarus too,

Everyone who was there when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to tell about it.
