He was his mother’s only son, and she was a widow. A large crowd from the city was also with her. 13When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said, “Don’t weep.”14Then he came up and touched the open coffin, and the pallbearers stopped.

So John summoned two of his disciples

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her,.... Knowing her case, that she was a widow, and had lost her only son:

and said unto her, weep not; signifying, that he would help her, which he did without being asked to do it, as usual in other cases.
