Luke 7:11-17

[print_link]

On the nest day, Jesus journeyed to a town called Nain, and many of his disciples and a large crowd of people went with him. Now when Jesus approached the gate of the town, a man who was dead was being carried out for burial. The dead man was the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. With her was a great number of people from the town.

And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Weep not.” Then Jesus approached the funeral pallet and touched it. And those who carried it came to a stand still. Then Jesus said, “Young man, I command you, rise up!” And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.

Terror seized them all, but even so they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has risen among us!” and “God has visited his people!” For this reason, word about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the entire region.
