Luke 7:13 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 7:13

And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her
Knowing her case, that she was a widow, and had lost her only son:

and said unto her, weep not;
signifying, that he would help her, which he did without being asked to do it, as usual in other cases.

Luke 7:13 In-Context

11 Soon afterwards 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. A large crowd from the city was also with her.

13 When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, "Don't cry."

14 Then He came up and touched the open coffin, and the pallbearers stopped. And He said, "Young man, I tell you, get up!"

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