Luke 7

11 Soon after Jesus went to a town called Nain, accompanied by his disciples and a large crowd.

12 As he approached the town gate a funeral procession was coming the other way. The man who had died was the only son of a widow, and a sizeable crowd from the town was with her. 13 When the Lord saw her he was filled with compassion for her. "Don’t cry," he told her. 14 Jesus went over to the coffin and touched it, and the pall-bearers stopped.

Jesus said, "Young man, I tell you, get up." 15 The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16 A sense of awe filled everyone there and they praised God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us," and "God has visited his people." 17 News about Jesus spread throughout Judea, and all around.
