Luke 7:12

Verse 12 of 50. The 7th of 24 chapters in Luke, in The Gospels.

8For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

9When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.”

10Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.

11Soon afterwards, he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.

12Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only born son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.

13When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Don’t cry.”

14He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”

15He who was dead sat up and began to speak. Then he gave him to his mother.

16Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”
