Luke 7

A Widow’s Son Raised to Life

11 Afterward he was on his way to a town called Nain. His disciples and a large crowd were traveling with him. 12 Just as he neared the gate of the town, a dead man was being carried out. He was his mother’s only son, and she was a widow.  * 7:12 Jdg 11:34; Lk 8:42; 9:38; Heb 11:17 A large crowd from the town was also with her. 13 When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her  * 7:13 Mt 20:34 and said, "Don’t weep."14 Then he came up and touched the open coffin, and the pallbearers stopped. And he said, "Young man, I tell you, get up! "* 7:14 Mt 11:5; Mk 5:41; Lk 7:22; 8:54; Jn 11:43; Ac 9:40

15 The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.  * 7:15 1Kg 17:23; 2Kg 4:3616 Then fear  * 7:16 Or awe came over everyone,  * 7:16 Lk 5:26 and they glorified God,  * 7:16 Mt 5:16; Lk 2:20; 13:13; 23:47; Ac 4:21; 11:18 saying, "A great prophet has risen among us,"  * 7:16 Dt 18:15; Mt 21:11; Lk 7:39; Jn 7:40 and "God has visited  * 7:16 Or come to help his people."  * 7:16 Lk 1:6817 This report about him went throughout Judea and all the vicinity.
