Jesus menghidupkan anak tunggal janda

Kemudian Yesus pergi ke suatu kota yang bernama Nain. Murid-murid-Nya pergi bersama-sama dengan Dia, dan juga orang banyak menyertai-Nya berbondong-bondong.
Setelah Ia dekat pintu gerbang kota, ada orang mati diusung ke luar, anak laki-laki, anak tunggal ibunya yang sudah janda, dan banyak orang dari kota itu menyertai janda itu.

Dan ketika Tuhan melihat janda itu, tergeraklah hati-Nya oleh belas kasihan, lalu Ia berkata kepadanya: ”Jangan menangis!”

Sambil menghampiri usungan itu Ia menyentuhnya, dan sedang para pengusung berhenti, Ia berkata: ”Hai anak muda, Aku berkata kepadamu, bangkitlah!”
Maka bangunlah orang itu dan duduk dan mulai berkata-kata, dan Yesus menyerahkannya kepada ibunya.

Semua orang itu ketakutan dan mereka memuliakan Tuhan, sambil berkata: ”Seorang nabi besar telah muncul di tengah-tengah kita,” dan ” Elohim telah melawat umat-Nya.”

Maka tersiarlah kabar tentang Yesus di seluruh Yudea dan di seluruh daerah sekitarnya.

( Lukas 7:11-17 )

Luke 7:11-17 (New International Version)

Jesus Raises a Widow’s Son

¹¹Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. ¹²As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. ¹³When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, “Don’t cry.”

¹⁴Then he went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!” ¹⁵The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.

¹⁶They were all filled with awe and praised God. “A great prophet has appeared among us,” they said. “God has come to help his people.” ¹⁷This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country.
