词汇 | lazarus |
词源 | Lazarus. Strictly speaking a Lazarus is someone risen from the dead, but the word is used allusively in many ways. It recalls the brother of Mary and Martha of Bethany, whom Jesus raised from the dead after he had been in his tomb four days (John 11:38–44). One authority notes that “in the fourth century the house and tomb of Lazarus were shown to pilgrims, and the gospel narrative . . . may be based on the story told to first- century visitors to Palestine.” See also lazar. |
