Luke 7:11-17

¹¹Soon after Jesus went to a town called Nain, accompanied by his disciples and a large crowd.

¹²As he approached the town gate a funeral procession was coming the other way. The man who had died was the only son of a widow, and a sizeable crowd from the town was with her.

¹³When the Lord saw her he was filled with compassion for her. “Don't cry,” he told her.

¹⁴Jesus went over to the coffin and touched it, and the pall-bearers stopped. Jesus said, “Young man, I tell you, get up.”

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

¹⁶A sense of awe filled everyone there and they praised God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us,” and “God has visited his people.”

¹⁷News about Jesus spread throughout Judea, and all around.
