Q. Question: How many people were raised from death as it is written in the Bible? What are the names of those people that were raised from death in the Bible? Who raised them from death? Please tell me the corresponding Bible portions for these answers, thank you.

A. I believe that there were many in the Bible who were raised from the dead. 7 of them subsequently died again. They are the widow of Zarapeth’s son, raised by Elijah in 1 Kings 17, Jairus’s daughter in Matthew 9, the widow of Nain’s son in Luke 7, Lazarus in John 11, all by Jesus, and Eutychus by Paul in Acts 20. In addition, although the Bible doesn’t specifically confirm this, I believe both Jonah and and Paul were brought back from death by God.

He also of course raised Jesus and an un-counted number of Old Testament saints from the dead as well. (Matt. 27:52-53) These never died again.
