This week, step inside the home of Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, a place of everyday life and extraordinary moments with Jesus. Our animated reconstruction shows how their first-century house in Bethany may have appeared, including the household items used for hospitality. It was in such a setting that Christ was welcomed with love, rest, and fellowship. The animation team at RevelationMedia created this site to highlight the house for upcoming episodes of iBIBLE.
Every detail tells a story. From the clay lamps on the shelves to the stone foundations and storage jars, the animators bring Lazarus’ home in Bethany to life with remarkable attention to detail. These elements help recreate not only the structure but also the rhythms of daily life, revealing a home built for family and community.
The interior shows how meals were prepared, evenings were lit by clay lamps, and daily tasks unfolded in intimate, communal spaces. These reconstructions help viewers imagine the household’s character and warmth. Martha’s careful service and Mary’s attentive devotion demonstrate how hospitality went beyond practical chores, welcoming Jesus into the heart of the home.
The spaces surrounding the house—courtyards, gardens, and pathways—show how the family’s daily life extended beyond the home itself. These areas were designed for work, play, and shared meals, reflecting a culture where life was lived in close connection with others. As the Gospels note, “Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus” (John 11:5, ESV), highlighting a home and its surroundings filled with love, service, and hospitality. The animators are continuing to refine these outdoor spaces, updating the flora and layout to complement the interior’s reconstruction.
