Jesus Raises the Son of the Widow of Nain

11 Now it happened, the day after, that He went into a city called Nain; and many of His disciples went with Him, and a large crowd.
12 And when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her.
13 When the Lord saw her, He had acompassion on her and said to her, b“Do not weep.”  
14 Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, aarise.”  
15 So he who was dead asat up and began to speak. And He bpresented him to his mother.

Luke 7:13

The Lord saw her (idwn authn o kuriov). The Lord of Life confronts death (Plummer) and Luke may use Kuriov here purposely.

Had compassion (esplagxqh). First aorist (ingressive) passive indicative of splagxnizomai. Often love and pity are mentioned as the motives for Christ's miracles (Matthew 14:14; Matthew 15:32, etc.). It is confined to the Synoptics in the N.T. and about Christ save in the parables by Christ.

Weep not (mh klaie). Present imperative in a prohibition. Cease weeping.
