Luke 7:11-17
Legacy Standard Bible
11 And it happened that soon afterwards He went to a city called Nain, and His disciples were going along with Him, [a]accompanied by a large crowd. 12 Now as He approached the gate of the city, behold, [b]a dead man was being carried out, the [c]only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a sizeable crowd from the city was with her. 13 And when (A)the Lord saw her, He felt compassion for her and said to her, “Do not cry.” 14 And He came up and touched the coffin, and the bearers came to a halt. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise!” 15 And the [d]dead man sat up and began to speak. And Jesus gave him back to his mother. 16 (B)And fear gripped them all, and they began (C)glorifying God, saying, “A great (D)prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has [e]visited His people!” 17 (E)And this report concerning Him went out all over Judea and in all the surrounding district.

A Widow’s Son Raised
11 And it happened that on the next day he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him. 12 And as he approached the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, his mother’s only son, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. 13 And when[a] the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, “Do not weep!” 14 And he came up and[b] touched the bier, and those who were carrying it[c] stopped. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!” 15 And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother. 16 And fear seized them all, and they began to glorify[d] God, saying, “A great prophet has appeared among us!” and “God has visited to help his people!” 17 And this report about him went out in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.

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.
16 They were all filled with awe(D) and praised God.(E) “A great prophet(F) has appeared among us,” they said. “God has come to help his people.”(G) 17 This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country.(H)
