Jesus performed a miracle and brought him back to life. He and Martha and Mary were close friends of Jesus and worshipers of Jehovah

It is thought by most scholars that Lazarus was the rich young man who asked Christ what he had to do for salvation and when Jesus told him to go sell all he had and distribute it to the poor, the rich young man could not do it and so went home. Lazarus was a very wealthy man. He had two sisters who depended on him for their lives. He probably had dozens of employees of several kinds, including servants, slaves and clerks. Becoming a mendicant wasn't in the cards for him but he wanted the hope. I think, as do most scholars, that Jesus knew this and became their friend. It must have a mutually satisfying relationship because when Jesus was told about Lazarus' illness He decided to use it as a really big show of proof about Himself and His message. Remember, He wept when He heard that Lazarus had died. Then He went and raised Lazarus from the dead before dozens of witnesses. Great PR for that time. Great PR for ANY time, actually! Hard to beat that kind of proof. Four days dead, no embalming, a hot climate...well, you can imagine the state of a corpse under those conditions; yet there he stood, hale, whole, hearty and alive!

Lazarus lived in Bethany, what we today would call a suburb of Jerusalem, less than a Sabbath Day's journey (not even 5 miles) from Jerusalem.

Now, if you've really typoed and you're talking about NAZARETH, that's a village north of Samaria, about 3 miles from the shores of the Sea of Galilee, also known as Lake Geneseret, more than 40 miles north of Jerusalem and Jesus's hometown.

There are at least two men named Lazarus that I can think of. One was Mary and Martha's brother who Jesus raised from death. He is dead again and in Heaven waiting with the rest of the saints for the rapture. The other was in a story Jesus told about Heaven and Hell. Jesus used his name, so many believe that he is real, not just a parable.

Do you mean Lazarus or Nazareth?

The first tomb of Lazarus (brother of Mary whom Jesus resurrected) is in Bethany, the second was in Cyprus, the site of the Byzantine church - his relics have since been moved to Constantinople.

Nazareth - the childhood place of Jesus - is the capital of the North District of Israel, and is also the largest Arab Israeli city in Israel.

John 11:33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in his spirit and greatly troubled. 34 And he said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to him, "Lord, come and see." 35 Jesus wept. 36 So the Jews said, "See how he loved him!" 37 But some of them said, "Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man also have kept this man from dying?" 38 Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. 39 Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for he has been dead four days." 40 Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?" 41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this on account of the people standing around, that they may believe that you sent me." 43 When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out." 44 The man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him, and let him go."


Luke 16:19 "There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. 20 And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, 21 who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried, 23 and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. 24 And he called out, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.' 25 But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.' 27 And he said, 'Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father's house-- 28 for I have five brothers--so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.' 29 But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.' 30 And he said, 'No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.' 31 He said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.'"

There is no Lazerth.
There is Lazarus, spoken of in Luke and John.

Dead in a physical sense. He was brought back to life once but he wasn't made immortal. In the spiritual sense, he has eternal life.
