Luke 7: 11-13 (The Message)
Not long after that, Jesus went to the village Nain.
His disciples were with him, along with quite a large crowd.
As they approached the village gate, they met a
funeral procession – a woman’s only son was being
carried out for burial. And the mother was a widow.
When Jesus saw her, his heart broke.
He said to her, “Don’t cry.”

Luke 7:16-17 (The Message)
They all realized they were in a place of holy mystery,
that God was at work among them.
They were quietly worshipful – and then noisily grateful,
calling out among themselves,
“God is back, looking to the needs of his people!”
The news of Jesus spread all through the country.
