Luke 7:16

Verse 16 of 50. The 7th of 24 chapters in Luke, in The Gospels.

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!”

17This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.

18The disciples of John told him about all these things.

19John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”

20When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”
