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 afterward, Jesus went to a city called Nain. His disciples and a large crowd went with him.

12 As he came near the entrance to the city, he met a funeral procession. The dead man was a widow's only child. A large crowd from the city was with her.

13 When the Lord saw her, he felt sorry for her. He said to her, "Don't cry."

14 He went up to the open coffin, took hold of it, and the men who were carrying it stopped. He said, "Young man, I'm telling you to come back to life!"

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