Luke 7:11-17

Christian Standard Bible

A Widow’s Son Raised to Life

¹¹ Afterward he was on his way to a town called Nain. His disciples and a large crowd were traveling with him. ¹² Just as he neared the gate of the town, a dead man was being carried out. He was his mother’s only son, and she was a widow.^(A) A large crowd from the town was also with her. ¹³ When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her^(B) and said, “Don’t weep.” ¹⁴ Then he came up and touched the open coffin, and the pallbearers stopped. And he said, “Young man, I tell you, get up!”^(C)

¹⁵ The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.^{(D) 16} Then fear^[a] came over everyone,^(E) and they glorified God,^(F) saying, “A great prophet has risen among us,”^(G) and “God has visited^[b] his people.”^{(H) 17} This report about him went throughout Judea and all the vicinity.
