—-Many scholars have noted the parallels between the miracle story in John 11:1-44 and the parable in Luke 16:19-31.6 Some have proposed that the account of the raising of Lazarus in John is a “conflation of various material in Luke, particularly the parable of Luke 16:19-31and the Martha and Mary story of Luke 10:38-42, along with the stories of the raising of Jairus’ daughter (Luke 8:40-56…) and the son of the widow of Nain (7:11-17),” or “that there is a common tradition behind the Lazarus story in John and the various other NT accounts of raisings from the dead.”7As stated above, the line of reasoning is apparently that if an event this significant had happened, the Synoptics would have included it. The Synoptics do not include the raising of Lazarus, and there appears to be no place for it in their narratives; therefore it could not have happened as John records it. This is not the best approach to history, and we classify such unnecessary exclusions as false dichotomies. We are helped at this point by the admonition of historian David Hackett Fischer. In his book, Historical Fallacies, he says,

The reason the Greek who wrote the Gospel of John used the raising of Lazarus as an allegory was to prove Martha’s faith.
And if you’ll look on Fox News today every one of those simple minded Republicans has faith in our Lord and Savior.
Even Trump, claims he’s a Christian.
Although he has never heard about how John is not synoptic. He might think Synoptics would be good cures, for the China flu.
