When Jesus came near the town gates, he saw a funeral. A mother, who was a widow, F127 had lost her only son. Many people from the town were there with the mother while her son was being carried out.
Jesus walked to the coffin F128 and touched it. The men that were carrying the coffin stopped. Jesus said to the dead son, "Young man, I tell you, get up!"
All the people were filled with fear. They began praising God and said, "A great prophet F129 has come to us!" And they said, "God is taking care of his people."
