The basic shape of the narrative is recognizable and relatable: Someone dies, and the heartbroken family pleads for their loss to be reversed. In the case of Lazarus, Christ is so moved by the family’s grief that he interferes with the natural order of things and grants an exception like no other: He brings the dead man back to life. This makes it an exemplar of a kind of cosmic partiality, what we would all hope for at our most wounded and vulnerable. Caravaggio pins the scene down to its material facts: the confused faces of the onlookers, the downcast faces of the sisters, the necrotic body of Lazarus, the supernatural authority of Christ. en biblical Rich man and Lazarus A beggar in a parable by Jesus Christ, traditionally en Christianity thought to have been a leper and often conflated with Lazarus of Bethany. en rare en male Hebrew. en rare en Hebrew. en Devan Cole and Caroline Kelly Cuccinelli rewrites Statue of Liberty poem to make case for limiting immigration w:CNN https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/13/politics/ken-cuccinelli-statue-of-liberty/index.html 2019-08-13 Ken Cuccinelli tweaked the famous poem from Emma Lazarus – whose words, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free” are long associated with immigration to the US and the nation’s history as a haven – as part of a case for strict new measures pushed Monday by the Trump administration that could dramatically change the legal immigration system. https://web.archive.org/web/20260527215612/https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/13/politics/ken-cuccinelli-statue-of-liberty/index.html 27 May 2026 Derived terms en Bamforth-Lazarus syndrome Lazarus effect Lazarus Island Lazarus layer Lazarus sign Lazarus species Lazarus syndrome Lazarus taxon Related terms en lazar lazar house lazaret lazaretto Lazarist Lazarite Descendants zh 拉札魯斯 1 Translations New Testament characters Aghwan: xag 𐔾𐔰𐔰𐔵𐔰𐕙 Arabic: ar لَعَازَر m Armenian: hy Ղազարոս, hy Ղազար Bulgarian: bg Лазар m Catalan: ca Llàtzer m Cherokee: chr ᎳᏏᎳ Chinese: Mandarin: cmn 拉匝祿 Lāzālù, cmn 拉撒路 Lāsālù Comorian: Maore Comorian: swb Lazaro Ngazidja Comorian: zdj Lazaro Czech: cs Lazar m Danish: da Lazarus Dutch: nl Lazarus Esperanto: eo Lazaro Estonian: et Laatsarus Finnish: fi Lasarus French: fr Lazare Georgian: ka ლაზარე German: de Lazarus Greek: el Λάζαρος m Ancient Greek: grc Λάζαρος Hawaiian: haw Lazaro Hebrew: he אֶלְעָזָר m ʼelʻāzār, he לַעְזָר la'zár en used in the Franz Delitzsch translation of the New Testament Hindi: hi लाज़र m Italian: it Lazzaro Japanese: ja ラザロ Razaro Korean: ko 나사로 Latin: la Lazarus Maltese: mt Lazzru Norwegian: no Lasarus Polish: pl Łazarz m Portuguese: pt Lázaro m Romanian: ro Lazăr Russian: ru Ла́зарь m Scottish Gaelic: gd Làsaras m Serbo-Croatian: sh Лазар m Lazar, sh Lazar m Spanish: es Lázaro m Swedish: sv Lasaros Turkish: tr Lazarus Vietnamese: vi La-xa-rơ, vi La-da-rô male given name Armenian: hy Ղազարոս, hy Ղազար Bulgarian: bg Лазар m Catalan: ca Llàtzer Hawaiian: haw Lakalo Hebrew: he אֶלְעָזָר m El'azár Hungarian: hu Lázár Ingrian: izh Laazari Italian: it Lazzaro Portuguese: pt Lázaro m Romanian: ro Lazăr m Russian: ru Ла́зарь m Spanish: es Lázaro Turkish: tr Lazarus Noun en usually _ figurative A person who was deceased and has been resurrected; a deceased person who could potentially be resurrected. en 1855 w:The New Monthly Magazine 105 https://books.google.com.au/books?id=_tgRAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA302&dq=%22lazaruses%22&hl=en&sa=X&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=%22lazaruses%22&f=false 302 This was the classic age of all the various exhumations, restorations, and resurrections; it was a retrospective time — a time of ghosts and Lazaruses, more or less decomposed. 1870, Edmond de Pressensé, Annie Harwood Holmden (translator), The Early Years of the Christian Church, Book 3: First Century, page 462, Those who hear the voice of the Son of man and live, are so many Lazaruses called to the life divine. en 2010 Michael J Sweet Ippolito Desideri Mission to Tibet: The Extraordinary Eighteenth-Century Account of Father Ippolito Desideri https://books.google.com.au/books?id=AxeWysRdCXEC&pg=PA598&dq=%22lazaruses%22&hl=en&sa=X&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=%22lazaruses%22&f=false 598 Finally, in whatever state or condition of life the faithful may find themselves, even if they cannot, like the apostles, assist the Lazaruses to rise from their tombs.
