In John’s Gospel, the raising of Lazarus was a spectacular event by design. Jesus ensured it happened in public, with a large crowd, and he prayed and spoke loud enough for everyone to hear. Jesus’ resurrection, by contrast, was subtle by design. He appeared only to his closest followers, and these meetings happened in private or secluded places. Given the cosmic importance of Jesus’ resurrection and its centrality to the Gospel, it’s surprising that Lazarus’ return from the dead would surpass it in publicity and spectacle.
