11 1 Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and His disciples and a great throng accompanied Him. 12 [Just] as He drew near the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out--the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a large gathering from the town was accompanying her. 13 And when the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, Do not weep. 14 And He went forward and touched the funeral bier, and the pallbearers stood still. And He said, Young man, I say to you, arise [ 2 from death]! 15 And the man [who was] dead sat up and began to speak. And [Jesus] gave him [back] to his mother. 16 Profound and reverent fear seized them all, and they began 3 to recognize God and praise and give thanks, saying, A great 4 Prophet has appeared among us! And God has visited His people [in order to help and care for and provide for them]! 17 And this report concerning [Jesus] spread through the whole of Judea and all the country round about. [I Kings 17:17-24; II Kings 4:32-37.]
