Jesus raised him from the dead (7)
I believe the answer is:
lazarus
'jesus raised him from the dead' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for lazarus that I've seen before include "In the Gospels, he was raised from the dead" , "Poor man" , "Brother of Mary and Martha, raised by Jesus from the dead" , "Dives and -- (NT)" , "Biblical beggar ? resurrected man" .)
