Context of Luke 7:16

14He went to the board and he touched it. The people who were carrying the dead man stopped. Jesus said, ‘Young man, I am telling you, get up!’ 15Immediately, the dead man sat up and he began to talk. Jesus then gave him back to his mother. Everyone there was very afraid. They praised God and said, ‘A great prophet of God has appeared among us. God has come to save his people!’ 17This news about Jesus went everywhere in Judea. The people in the places that were near there also heard about it. 18Then some disciples of John the Baptist went to visit him in prison. They told him about all the things that Jesus was doing. So John chose two of them to go to the Lord Jesus for him.
