It looks like you may mean the biblical Lazarus from John 11. After Jesus raised him, the Bible doesn’t give a detailed follow-up, but later tradition says he may have fled persecution and gone to Cyprus, where some traditions say he became a bishop.

Quick Scoop

The shortest answer is: the scriptural record stops after his resurrection , and everything after that comes from later church tradition, not the Bible itself.

What is known

  • In the Gospel account, Lazarus is raised from the dead by Jesus.
  • After that, the New Testament does not clearly say what happened to him.
  • Later traditions vary: one says he went to Cyprus and became the first bishop of Kition; another says he may have gone to Gaul and was later martyred.

Why people ask

This story is often discussed because Lazarus became such a vivid sign of Jesus’ power that some traditions say religious leaders even wanted him dead again. That’s why the question “what happened to Lazarus?” keeps popping up in forums and Bible discussion threads.
