Contextual Overview

11Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd. 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 sizeable 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!" 17And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region. 18Then John's disciples informed him about all these things.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the disciples of John showed him of all these things. The miracles that were wrought by Christ; particularly the healing of the centurion's servant, and the raising from the dead the widow of Naim's son, and what fame and reputation Christ got every where by his doctrine, and mighty works. John was now in prison, when these his disciples came and related these things to him; see

Matthew 11:2 and they spoke of them, not as commending Christ for them; but as envying, grieving, and complaining, that he carried away all the honour and glory from John their master, for whom they had the greatest regard.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Luke 7:18. The disciples of John showed him, c.] It is very likely that John's disciples attended the ministry of our Lord at particular times and this, we may suppose, was a common case among the disciples of different Jewish teachers. Though bigotry existed in its most formidable shape between the Jews and Samaritans, yet we do not find that it had any place between Jews and Jews, though they were of different sects, and attached to different teachers.
