Luke 7:11-17

A Widow’s Son Raised

11 And it happened that on the next [day] he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him.
12 And as he approached the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, his mother's only son, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.
13 And [when] the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, "Do not weep!"
14 And he came up [and] touched the bier, and those who were carrying [it] stopped. And he said, "Young man, I say to you, get up!"
15 And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother.
16 And fear seized [them] all, and they began to glorify God, saying, "A great prophet has appeared among us!" and "God has visited to help his people!"
17 And this report about him went out in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.
