Context of Luke 7:11

9When Jesus heard this message from the officer, he was very surprised. He turned towards the crowd that was following him. He said to them, ‘I tell you, I have not found anyone like this man in all of Israel. Nobody else believes in me as well as he does.’ 10The friends of the officer then returned to his house. When they arrived there, they saw that the servant was well again. The next day, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples and a large group of other people went with him. 12When he had almost reached the gate of the town, lots of people were coming out. They were carrying a dead man on a wooden board. They were taking him to bury him. His mother had no other sons and her husband was also dead. A large crowd of people from the town was going with her. 13When the Lord Jesus saw her, he felt very sorry for her. He said to her, ‘Do not cry.’
