12As He approached the town gate, He saw a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.
13When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”
14Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”
15And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.
16A sense of awe swept over all of them, and they glorified God. “A great prophet has appeared among us!” they said. “God has visited His people!”
— Luke 7:12-16
