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.

11 And it came to pass [a]soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great multitude. 12 Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, there was carried out one that was dead, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her. 13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. 14 And he came nigh and touched the bier: and the bearers stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. 15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother. 16 And fear took hold on all: and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet is arisen among us: and, God hath visited his people. 17 And this report went forth concerning him in the whole of Judaea, and all the region round about.
