11 Soon after that, Jesus went to the town of Nain. His disciples and many other people went with him.12 He came near the gate of the town. There he met people carrying out a man who had died. He was the only son of his mother. And her husband was dead too. Many people from the city were with her.13 The Lord saw her. He shared in her sorrows and troubles. He said to her, Do not cry.14 Jesus came and touched the thing on which the body lay. The men who were carrying it stopped walking. Jesus said, Young man, I tell you, get up!15 The dead man sat up and began to talk. Jesus gave him to his mother.16 Everyone was very much surprised. They praised God. They said, A great prophet of God has come to us. God has remembered his people.17 The people all over Judea and all the country around it heard what Jesus had done.
