Luke 7:11-17

Jesus Raises a Widow’s Son

11 Soon afterward^[a] he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him.

12 As he drew near to the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, ¹the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and a considerable crowd from the town was with her.

13 And when the Lord saw her, ²he had compassion on her and ³said to her, “Do not weep. ”

14 Then he came up and touched ⁴the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, ⁵arise. ”

15 And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus^{[b] 6}gave him to his mother.

16 Fear seized them all, and ⁷they glorified God, saying, ⁸“A great prophet has arisen among us! ” and ⁹“God has visited his people! ”

17 And this report about him spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding country.
