| Portrait of the Widow of Nain. |
The widow of Nain's son (Luke 7:11-19) was the first person Jesus raised from the dead. It was after He and his disciples and a multitude following Him had left Capernaum and had entered the village of Nain, which lies on the lower slopes of the Little Hermon. When Jesus came to the gate of the city, "Behold, there was dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her."
Luke goes on to relate that Jesus had compassion upon her, as He always did upon women in distress. No one asked Him for help, but walking up to the widow Jesus said, "Weep not." Such words
were not a feeble effort to console her. They had a deeper meaning, as she was soon to learn.
He came and touched the bier of her son and spoke to him, "Young man, I say unto thee, Arise." And the young man who had been dead began to speak. Though Luke does not give us a definite
picture of the mother or express how she felt when her son was raised from the dead, the one graphic stroke is sufficient: Jesus "delivered him to his mother."
The most amazing phase of the healing of the widow of Nain's son is that all who had witnessed this miracle "glorified God" saying a great prophet had come among them. And they recognized that Jesus was a far greater prophet than had been Elijah, who had raised from the dead the son of the widow of Zarephath. Elijah had raised her son after he had gone into a room alone and prayed for the boy. But Jesus healed the son of the widow of Nain instantaneously as a bewildered crowd looked on.
