In those days, as the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint by the Hellenistic Jews against the Hebraic Jews that their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution.

The dying man blessed me,
and I made the widow’s heart rejoice.

The Lord protects foreigners
and helps the fatherless and the widow,
but He frustrates the ways of the wicked.

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. A large crowd from the city was also with her.

Presented

They brought the boy home alive and were greatly comforted.

They said, “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt!” Jacob was stunned, for he did not believe them.

Then Elijah took the boy, brought him down from the upper room into the house, and gave him to his mother. Elijah said, “Look, your son is alive.”

The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.
