Context of Luke 7:13
11And it came to pass afterwards he went into a city called Nain, and many of his disciples and a great crowd went with him. 12And as he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a very considerable crowd of the city [was] with her. And the Lord, seeing her, was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Weep not; 14and coming up he touched the bier, and the bearers stopped. And he said, Youth, I say to thee, Wake up. 15And the dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
