11
Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him.
12
As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out--the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.
13
When the Lord1 saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, "Don't cry."14
Then he went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. He said, "Young man, I say to you, get up!"215
The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.
16
They were all filled with awe3 and praised God.4 "A great prophet5 has appeared among us," they said. "God has come to help his people."6
