Luke 7:11-17

¹¹Soon after that, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples and a large crowd of other people went with him.

¹²As they approached the town gate, the corpse of a young man who had just died was being carried out on a stretcher { people were carrying out on a stretcher the corpse of a young man who had just died}. His mother was a widow, and he was her only son. A large group of people from the town were accompanying them.

¹³When the Lord saw her, he pitied her. He said to her, “Do not cry!”

¹⁴Then, ignoring the Jewish laws about not coming near a corpse, he came close and touched the stretcher on which the body was lying. So the men carrying it stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”

¹⁵The man sat up and began to talk! Jesus returned him to his mother to care for her.

¹⁶Then everyone there was amazed/awestruck. They praised God, saying, “A great prophet has come among us!” They also said, “God has come to help his people!”

¹⁷Then they reported what Jesus had done throughout all of Judea district and other nearby areas.
