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 Shortly afterwards He went to a town called Nain, attended by His disciples and a great crowd of people.

12 And just as He reached the gate of the town, they happened to be bringing out for burial a dead man who was his mother's only son; and she was a widow; and a great number of the townspeople were with her.

13 The Lord saw her, was moved with pity for her, and said to her, "Do not weep."

14 Then He went close and touched the bier, and the bearers halted. "Young man," He said, "I command you, wake!"

15 The dead man sat up and began to speak; and He restored him to his mother.
