Luke 7:11-17

¹¹Jesus and his followers went to a town called Nain. A big mob of other people went with him.

¹²Just before that, a young man in that town died. He was the only son of his mother, and her husband was already dead, so she had nobody left to look after her. That mother, and a big mob of people, were taking him out of the town on a stretcher, to bury him. And at that same time, Jesus was going into the town on the same road.

¹³Jesus saw the mother, and he felt very sorry for her. He told her, “Don’t cry.”

¹⁴Then he walked over to the stretcher and touched it, and the men that were carrying it stopped. Jesus said, “Young man, listen to me. Get up.”

¹⁵Then the dead boy sat up and started to talk. And Jesus told him to go back to his mother.

¹⁶Everyone that saw this was frightened. They said, “God is really great and powerful. One of his men has come to us to tell us his word and show us his power. God has come to help his people.”

¹⁷Then went and told lots of other people what they saw, so people everywhere in Judea country heard that story.
