Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead - This is a drawing of Jesus Christ raising Lazarus from the dead. Jesus stood outside the tomb (actually a sepulcre) where Lazarus had been lying for four days already. Jesus cried out, 'Lazarus, come forth!' Lazarus came out all wrapped in cloths from head to toe, which was the Jewish custom of burial at that time. Jesus told some of the onlookers, 'Remove the grave clothes from him.'
