Luke 7: 11 – 17

13th February 2011 Off By Derek Buckthorpe

 

11: Afterwards Jesus went to a town called Nain, accompanied by His disciples and a large crowd.

12: As He approached the gate of the town He met a funeral. The dead man was the only son of his widowed mother; and many of the townspeople were there with her.

13: When the Lord saw her His heart went out to her, and He said, ‘Do not weep.’

14: He stepped forward and laid His hands on the bier; and the bearers halted. Then He spoke, ‘Young man, I tell you to get up.’

15: The dead man sat up and began to speak; and Jesus restored him to his mother.

16: Everyone was filled with awe and praised God. ‘A great prophet has risen among us’, they said. ‘God has shown care for His people.’

17: The story of what He had done spread through the whole of Judea and all the region around.
