Luke 7:13 In-Context

11 It happened soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Na`im. Many of his talmidim went with him, along with a great multitude.

12 Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.

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

14 He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, "Young man, I tell you, arise!"

15 He who was dead sat up, and began to speak. He gave him to his mother.
