Bethany - The Repeat Performance of Lazarus' Resurrection (circa late 19th century) This evocative and intricately detailed illustration, depicting the biblical scene from Bethany, transports us back to the 19th century and invites us to witness a pivotal moment in the New Testament narrative. The story of Bethany, as recounted in the Gospels of John (11:1-44), unfolds with the poignant tale of Lazarus, a dear friend of Jesus, who lies in the tomb, having died four days earlier. Upon receiving the news of Lazarus' demise, Jesus and his disciples embark on a journey to Bethany, a small village located in the Judean hills. Upon their arrival, Martha, Lazarus' sister, greets Jesus with the heartfelt plea, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died." In response, Jesus declares, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die." The illustration captures the emotional intensity of this scene, with Martha and Mary, their faces etched with sorrow and hope, gathered around the open tomb of their brother Lazarus. The moment of resurrection is about to unfold, as Jesus calls forth Lazarus, bringing him back to life. This powerful and moving image serves as a poignant reminder of the transformative power of faith and the enduring promise of eternal life. This exquisite illustration, with its rich historical context and biblical significance, offers a captivating glimpse into the past and the profound impact of Christian stories on the art and culture of the 19th century.
