¹¹Soon afterward3 he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him. ¹²As he drew near to the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, jthe only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and a considerable crowd from the town was with her. ¹³And when the Lord saw her, khe had compassion on her and lsaid to her, “Do not weep.” ¹⁴Then he came up and touched mthe bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, narise.” ¹⁵And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus4 ogave him to his mother. ¹⁶Fear seized them all, and pthey glorified God, saying, q“A great prophet has arisen among us!” and r“God has visited his people!” ¹⁷And this report about him spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding country.
