Rich man and Lazarus for example.
I am thinking you are referring to Not an actual happening such as found at John 11:11-14 but to Luke 16:14-31.
The 16th chapter of Luke is about parables or illustrations. It is a story and Not a real happening.
The un-named rich man (Luke 16:1) and the un-named rich man of Luke 16:19 are the covetous Pharisees mentioned at Luke 16:14.
The story or parable that Jesus was giving was directed toward those greedy money-loving Pharisees.
The Law (Constitution of the Mosaic Law) and the OT prophets were until (lasted until) John the Baptist - Luke 16:16-17.
That 'Law/prophet arrangement' was like a marriage contract (verse 16)
This is why verse 18 mentions the putting away of the wife as being adultery.
Those Pharisees did Not want to accept that Christ's 'death' would end that old covenant or contract arrangement.
If the Pharisees wanted to become Christ's figurative bride (or bride class) they must be released from the old Law.
Also, remember the Lazarus of John 11:11-14 lived with his sisters Mary and Martha.
The Lazarus of Luke 16:20 was a beggar begging for spiritual crumbs - Luke 16:20-21
Since Lazarus was a common name back then, then using the name Lazarus represented the common people.
Plus, father Abraham (like King David -Acts 2:34; John 3:13) is still asleep in the grave - Luke 16:22
