Context of Luke 7:14
12Now as He approached the city gate, a dead man was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her [in the funeral procession]. 13When the Lord saw her, He felt [great] compassion for her, and said to her, “Do not weep.” And He came up and touched the bier [on which the body rested], and the pallbearers stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise [from death]!” 15The man who was dead sat up and began to speak. And Jesus gave him back to his mother. 16Fear and profound awe gripped them all, and they began glorifying and honoring and praising God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited His people [to help and care for and provide for them]!”

Commentaries on Luke 7:14
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 11-18Verses 11-18 When the Lord saw the poor widow following her son to the grave, he had compassion on her. See Christ's power over death itself. The gospel call to all people, to young people particularly, is, Arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light and life. When Christ put life into him, it appeared by the youth's sitting up. Have we grace from Christ? Let us show it. He began to speak: whenever Christ gives us spiritual life, he opens the…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 13-14Here, the word coffin may refer to: a long box in which someone is buried, or a funeral bier (a frame or portable stand used to carry the coffin or the body of the person who had died). A Jew became ceremonially unclean by touching a dead body, coffin, or bier (Leviticus 21:1, 11–12). But when Jesus touched the man with leprosy, he did not become unclean (Luke 5:13). Instead, he replaced disease and death with cleansing and life.Read the comment

The Resurrection and the Life in human flesh, with a word of command, bringing back life to the dead body; Incarnate Compassion summoning its absolute power to dry a widow's tears!Read the comment
