Luke 7:15
13 When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”
14 Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”
And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.
16 A sense of awe swept over all of them, and they glorified God. “A great prophet has appeared among us!” they said. “God has visited His people!”
17 And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
