Luke 7:16

Praise and worshipFear

14 Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”

15 And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.

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.

18 Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.
