Viewers familiar with the Gospel of John immediately recognize this as the moment when Jesus commands the dead man to rise and exit his tomb, crying, “Lazarus, come out!” Yet in many ways-the booth, the mummy wrappings, the magician’s wand-it differs from the account in the Gospel of John ( 11:1–45), incidentally the only canonical gospel in which the raising of Lazarus is recounted. The scene is stunning, even slightly horrifying. Nearby, a man holding a wand taps or points at the mummy. Those people holding that Lazarus was literally raised from the dead have no explanation for the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke not mentioning this. Jesus said to them, Unbind him, and let him go. We see this in his raising of Lazarus, in our everyday lives, and at the time when we face death. 44 The man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. 43 When Jesus had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, Lazarus, come out. The scriptures record many people coming to life again. John 11 tells the remarkable story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. An intriguing image frequently appears on the walls of ancient Christian catacombs and on carved reliefs of early Christian tombs-a mummy-like creature emerging from a small booth. I ask because Jesus raised others, like Lazarus, from the dead before his own death and resurrection.
