A holy awe came over everyone, and they praised God, saying:
“A great prophet has appeared among us. God has visited his people.”
Commentaries
7:11 - 7:17
Raises the Widow’s Son.
Jesus, seeing what was happening, feels compassion and approaches the widow, first comforting her: “Do not weep” (13), then bringing her son back to life, and, in a broader sense, also reviving the woman’s life (15). The presence of Jesus and his word are not only purifying and comforting but also create and restore life.
