Q. How did Mary, Jesus' mother, die? Lazarus was resurrected to physical life by Jesus. WHEN and HOW did he die for the SECOND time? (Submitted by: M. C.) A. I know of no Biblical reference to Lazarus' death after Jesus raised him from the grave. The Chief priests consulted together, plotting to kill Lazarus, because he was a LIVE witness of Christ and his miracles. People came from all over to see Lazarus because he was a living miracle. There is no record, however, of Lazarus having been killed by the chief priests. "But the chief priests plotted to put Lazarus to death also, [The priests wanted Lazarus to die a SECOND time and were plotting his murder, even as they had been plotting Jesus' death for quite some time.] because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus . . ." "Therefore the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of his tomb and raised him from the dead, bore witness . . . [The fame of Jesus and Lazarus was spreading like wildfire] The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, 'You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!' " (John 12:10-11, 17, 19 NKJV) There is no mention of Mary's life and death after the death of Christ - Christ gave the responsibility of His mother, Mary, to John while He was dying on the cross. Mary most likely traveled with John even until her death, at which time John probably buried her. |
