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.
