Jesus Raises a Widow’s Son(A)

11 Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. 12 As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. 13 When the Lord(B) saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, “Don’t cry.”

14 Then he went up and touched the bier they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”(C) 15 The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.

38 Then Jesus, (H)deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was (I)a cave, and (J)a stone lay against it. 39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for (K)he has been dead four days.” 40 Jesus said to her, (L)“Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see (M)the glory of God?” 41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus (N)lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 (O)I knew that you always hear me, but I said this (P)on account of the people standing around, (Q)that they may believe that you sent me.” 43 When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.” 44 (R)The man who had died came out, (S)his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and (T)his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”
