Luke 7:11-17
Chapter 7
11
Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples and a large crowd accompanied him.
12
As he reached the gate of the town, a dead man was being carried out. He was the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; a large crowd of townspeople followed.
13
When she saw him, the Lord took pity on her and said:
“Stop crying.”
14
Then he approached, touched the stretcher, and the men carrying it stopped.
Jesus then said:
“Young man, I say to you, wake up!”
15
And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus returned him to his mother.
16
A holy awe came over everyone, and they praised God, saying:
“A great prophet has appeared among us. God has visited his people.”
17
This news spread throughout Judea and the surrounding regions.
