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 Soon afterward[a] he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him.(A) 12 As he approached the gate of the town, a man who had died was being carried out. He was his mother’s only son, and she was a widow, and with her was a large crowd from the town. 13 When the Lord saw her, he was moved with compassion for her and said to her, “Do not cry.”(B) 14 Then he came forward and touched the bier, and the bearers stopped. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, rise!”(C) 15 The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus[b] gave him to his mother. 16 Fear seized all of them, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has risen among us!” and “God has visited his people!”(D) 17 This word about him spread throughout the whole of Judea and all the surrounding region.
