Endnote 1 – The Raising of Lazarus

The names Mary, Martha and Lazarus have all been found on first-century ossuaries, in one case together on a tomb near Bethany. See Jack Finegan, The Archeology of the New Testament (Princeton: Princeton Univ. Press, 1992), pp. 360–61 (entry 312). Tradition makes Lazarus out to have been the first Bishop of Marseilles, and martyred under Domition (81–96). His feast day is December 17.
