Biblical Character

The Resume

    (circa 31-circa 62)
    Relocated to Cyprus
    Appears in John 11: 41-44
    Brother of Mary (possibly Magdalene) and Martha
    Reportedly raised from the dead by Jesus Christ
    Also known as ‘Lazaros,' ‘Eleazaros' and ‘St. Lazaire'

Why he might be annoying:

    Jesus supposedly brought him back to life (talk about playing God).
    Having been dead at least four days, he probably smelled pretty ripe.
    According to the Bible, his resurrection was the last straw that led officials to seek Jesus' death.
    Legend has it he was spooky and humorless after coming back.
    Some claim there are secret documents proving he never died in the first place.
    One controversial academic suggested he and Jesus were gay lovers.
    He reportedly had a sweet tooth.
    Most, if not all, of his story is probably false.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His name means ‘God has helped' (understatement of the millennium).
    His family was friends with Jesus.
    Jesus felt so bad for his family after he died that he allegedly brought him back to life.
    He reportedly became a bishop.
    He is mentioned in lot of gospel songs and spirituals.
    He inspired a character portrayed by Coolio on ‘Charmed.'
