Luke 7:13 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 7:13

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.

Luke 7:13 In-Context

11 Soon afterwards Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his followers and a large crowd traveled with him.

12 When he came near the town gate, he saw a funeral. A mother, who was a widow, had lost her only son. A large crowd from the town was with the mother while her son was being carried out.

13 When the Lord saw her, he felt very sorry for her and said, "Don't cry."

14 He went up and touched the coffin, and the people who were carrying it stopped. Jesus said, "Young man, I tell you, get up!"

15 And the son sat up and began to talk. Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.
