Lazarus on His Sickbed

This illustration depicts Lazarus of Bethany lying weak on a bed while two women, likely Mary and Martha, keep watch beside him in sorrowful prayer. The simple room includes a woven mat, clay jar, basin, pillow, and striped blanket, emphasizing a humble home setting during a moment of illness and grief. The scene connects with the Gospel account of Lazarus’s sickness before Jesus comes to Bethany, making it useful for Bible lessons, sermons, Sunday school resources, pastoral care themes, and Christian teaching on faith, loss, and the hope of resurrection.
