SHOWING PITY TO THE WEEPING MOTHER BY RAISING UP HER DEAD SON
In 7:11-17 we see the Man-Savior showing pity to the weeping mother by raising up her dead son. Verses 11 and 12 say, "And it came about soon afterwards that He went into a city called Nain, and His disciples went with Him and a large crowd. Now as He came near the gate of the city, behold, one who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a considerable crowd from the city was with her." This situation was very sad, and no one could do anything to com fort the grieving widow. First she had lost her husband, and now she had lost her only son.
