The Bible does not give an exact number for how long Lazarus lived after Jesus raised him from the dead. A later Christian tradition says he lived about 30 more years , but that is tradition rather than a scriptural fact.

Quick answer

  • From Scripture: no duration is stated.
  • From later tradition: often said to be 30 additional years.

What we can say confidently

The Gospel account tells us Lazarus was raised, but it does not record how many years he lived afterward. Some church traditions, especially those associated with St. Epiphanios, say he was 30 when resurrected and lived another 30 years.

Bottom line

If you want the most careful answer: we don’t know from the Bible; tradition says roughly 30 more years.
