Q. How did Mary, Jesus' mother, die? Lazarus was resurrected to physical life by Jesus. When and how did he die a 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 for he was a "living" witness for Christ and the miracles - the people came from all over to see him for he himself was living miracle. There is no record in the scriptures of Lazarus having been killed by the priest. "But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death; [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. " (John 12:10-11) "The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, was testifying about it. [The fame of Jesus and Lazarus was spreading like wild fire] The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, 'See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.' " (v. 17, 19) 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. |
