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 And it came to pass the day after that he went into a city called Nain, and many of his disciples went with him, and many people.
12 Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and many people from the city were with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said unto her, Weep not.
14 And he came and touched the bier, and those that bore him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15 And he that was dead sat up and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
