Luke 7:11-17

11Soon afterward Jesus went with his disciples to the village of Nain, and a large crowd followed him.

12A funeral procession was coming out as he approached the village gate. The young man who had died was a widow’s only son, and a large crowd from the village was with her.

13When the Lord saw her, his heart overflowed with compassion. “Don’t cry!” he said.

14Then he walked over to the coffin and touched it, and the bearers stopped. “Young man,” he said, “I tell you, get up.”

15Then the dead boy sat up and began to talk! And Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16Great fear swept the crowd, and they praised God, saying, “A mighty prophet has risen among us,” and “God has visited his people today.”

17And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding countryside.
