And a considerable number of the townspeople was with her.13When the Lord saw her he felt sorry for her and said to her, ‘Don’t cry.’14Then he went up and touched the bier and the bearers stood still, and he said, ‘Young man, I tell you: get up.’15And the dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him to his mother. 16Everyone was filled with awe and glorified God saying, ‘A great prophet has risen up among us; God has visited his people.’17And this view of him spread throughout Judaea and all over the countryside.
