In the New Testament, Lazarus (Hebrew אלעזר ’El‘āzār, El'azar "Help/Court of God") is the name of a figure in one of Jesus' parables, recorded in the Gospel of Luke 16:19-31. Lazarus is the beggar at the rich man's table, who receives his reward in the Hereafter, in Abraham's bosom at the everlasting banquet, while the rich man craves a drop of water from Lazarus' finger.-wikipedia.en
