Luke 7:11-17 - A Widow's Son Raised

¹¹ Shortly after, Jesus went to a town called Nain, his disciples and a great crowd going with him. ¹² Just as he approached the gate of the town, there was a dead man being carried out for burial--an only son, and his mother was a widow. A large number of the people of the town were with her. ¹³ When he saw her, the Master was moved with compassion for her, and he said to her: "Do not weep." ¹⁴ Then he went up and touched the bier, and the bearers stopped; and Jesus said: "Young man, I am speaking to you--Rise!"

¹⁵ The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus restored him to his mother. ¹⁶ Every one was awe-struck and began praising God. "A great Prophet has arisen among us," they said; "and God has visited his people." ¹⁷ And this story about Jesus spread all through Judea, and in the neighboring countries as well.
