I have come to believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who is coming into the world’"; legends abound about Lazarus, including one which holds that he wrote an account of what he witnessed in the next world before being brought back to life * Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 7/29/23 * Gospel: John 11:19-27
