Soon afterward Jesus went to a city called Nain; and His disciples were going along with Him, ^(F1)accompanied by a large crowd.

Now as He approached the gate of the city, ^(F1)a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a sizeable crowd from the city was with her.

When ^(C1)the Lord saw her, He felt compassion for her and said to her, "Do not go on weeping."

And He came up and touched the coffin; and the bearers came to a halt. And He said, "Young man, I say to you, arise!"

And the dead man sat up and began to speak. And Jesus gave him back to his mother.

^(C1)Fear gripped them all, and they began ^(C2)glorifying God, saying, "A great ^(C3)prophet has appeared among us!" and, "God has ^(F1)visited His people!"

^(C1)And this report about Him spread throughout Judea and in all the surrounding region.

^(C1)The disciples of John also reported to him about all these things.
