John 12:1-8.
I'm not sure about Lazarus being a Pharisee. The Jews knew
Jesus loved Lazarus much and they consulted to put Lazarus to death also.
Somewhere I read that Lazarus was rich and was an insider in the
temple, perhaps part of the Sanheidrun. They may have considered
him as a traitor. Kinda like Nicodemus, came to Jesus BY NIGHT, under the
shade of darkness. He knew that no one could do the miracles except God
be with him. Jesus did the miracles that they might believe he was who he
said he was. (I like to dig out nuggets). He hid the truth from the wise and
prudent and revealed them unto babes. Come on, Babes, let's dig!)
