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 Some time later, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples and a large crowd went along with him.

12 He approached the town gate. Just then, a dead person was being carried out. He was the only son of his mother. She was a widow. A large crowd from the town was with her.

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

14 Then he went up and touched the coffin. Those carrying it stood still. Jesus said, "Young man, I say to you, get up!"

15 The dead man sat up and began to talk. Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.
