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 he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him.

12 As he approached the gate of the town, a man who had died was being carried out. He was his mother's only son, and she was a widow; and with her was a large crowd from the town.

13 When the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, "Do not weep."

14 Then he came forward and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, "Young man, I say to you, rise!"

15 The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.
