What happened to Lazarus?
Whatever happened to Lazarus of Bethany after his resurrection? Were the Pharisees and chief priests successful in their desire to put him to death (again)? Did he escape their evil plots? Was he among the disciples in Acts?
Did he remember anything from his time in Sheol? What did he tell others about "the other side"?
The short, precise answer is we don't know. He is never mentioned again in Scripture. And from what I can find in a quick search, almost nothing is recorded about him by the early Christians. The International Bible Encyclopedia reports a reference stating Lazarus lived approximately 30 years after Jesus' crucifixion and died, being about 60 years old. Nothing is reported about what he remembered from his time in the tomb, if he remembered anything at all. Like most of the apostles, he came into the limelight for a short while, and then went offstage; never to be heard or seen again.
