Context of Luke 7:18
16Then fear came over everyone, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has risen among us,” and “God has visited his people.” 17This report about him went throughout Judea and all the vicinity. Then John’s disciples told him about all these things. So John summoned two of his disciples 19and sent them to the Lord, asking, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?” 20When the men reached him, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask you, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?’”

Though bigotry existed in its most formidable shape between the Jews and Samaritans, yet we do not find that it had any place between Jews and Jews, though they were of different sects, and attached to different teachers.Read the comment
- 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.
