Luke 7:14

Luke 7:14

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.

16 ^aThen fear¹ came upon all, and they ^bglorified God, saying, ^c“A great prophet has risen up among us”; and, ^d“God has visited His people.”

17 And this report about Him went throughout all Judea and all the surrounding region.

Luke 7:15 >>

Luke 7:14 Touched the bier. As a signal to stop. There was an authority in not only the words but the acts of the Lord which compelled obedience. Arise. This is the first time he spoke these words to the dead. It must have been to his disciples and the multitude a moment of suspense and wonder.
