Jesus Raises a Widow's Son

11 Soon afterward Jesus went to a town called Nain, and [fn]many of his disciples went with him, along with a large crowd. 12 As he drew near to the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the one and only son of his mother (who was a widow). And a large crowd from the town was with her. 13 When the Lord saw her, he was moved with compassion for her and said to her, “Do not weep.” 14 Then he came up and touched the bier, and those who were carrying it stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to yoʋ, arise!” 15 So the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him back to his mother. 16 Then all the people were filled with awe and began glorifying God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us,” and, “God has visited his people.” 17 This news about Jesus then spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.
