The resurrection of Lazarus from the dead is a pivotal event in the fourth gospel. It also draws many parallels with the resurrection of Jesus. The first half of the book ends with the resurrection of Lazarus. The second half ends with the resurrection of Jesus. So, the fourth gospel is presented as Lazarus foreshadowing Jesus. This leads to Lazarus being more likely the author than any other person since he experienced both of these events and wanted to present it as parallel events.
