Context — Jesus Raises a Widow’s Son

9When Jesus heard this, He marveled at the centurion. Turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.” 10And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.

11Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

12As He approached the town gate, He saw a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. 13When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”

Luke 7:11 Summary

[Jesus went to a town called Nain with His disciples and a large crowd, showing that He was a popular teacher who cared about the people. This event occurred 'soon afterward' other events in Jesus' ministry, which suggests that He was always on the move, preaching and teaching. As we see in Matthew 9:35, Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching and preaching, which shows that He was dedicated to sharing God's message with everyone. By following Jesus' example, we can learn to care about others and share God's love with them, just as we see in Acts 10:38 where Jesus went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil.]

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Jesus go to the town of Nain?

The Bible doesn't give a specific reason why Jesus went to Nain, but it's likely that He was led by the Holy Spirit to minister to the people there, as we see in Luke 4:1 where Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted.

What can we learn from the fact that Jesus' disciples and a large crowd followed Him to Nain?

This shows that Jesus was a popular teacher and that many people were drawn to His message, as we see in Matthew 4:25 where great multitudes followed Him from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.

Is there any significance to the fact that this event occurred 'soon afterward'?

The fact that this event occurred 'soon afterward' suggests that Jesus' ministry was ongoing and that He was continually moving from one place to another, preaching and teaching, as we see in Mark 1:35-39 where Jesus preached in the synagogues of Galilee.

What does this verse tell us about Jesus' relationship with His disciples?

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Luke 7:11

Ver. 11-15. Luke alone gives us an account of this miracle of our Saviour’ s. Matthew mentions only the raising from the dead of Jairus’ s daughter. Luke adds this. John adds that of Lazarus, , by which our Lord did mightily show his Divine power, and gave us some firstfruits of the more general resurrection, as well as declared himself to be, as he elsewhere saith, the resurrection and the life. The place where this miracle was done was called Nain. H. Stephen Heb., Chald., Gr. et Lat. nomina, & c., tells us, it was a city or town about two miles from Mount Tabor, at the foot of the lesser Mount Hermon, near to Hendor. It was the custom of the Jews to bury their dead without their cities. Christ met this dead body carrying out. He was it seems her only child, and she was a widow, so under a great affliction, God by this providence having quenched the only coal she had left in Israel. And when the Lord saw her, (the text saith), he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. None moved him on the behalf of the widow, neither do we read that she herself spake to him; only our Saviour’ s bowels were moved at the sight of her sorrow, and consideration of her loss. It is observable that our Saviour wrought his healing miracles: 1. Sometimes at the motion and desire of the parties to be healed. 2. Sometimes at the desires of others on their behalf. 3. Sometimes of his own free motion, neither themselves nor others soliciting him for any such act of mercy toward them; and that in the three first miracles, , which he wrought after his famous sermon on the mount, he gave us an instance of all these, in his healing of the leper personally beseeching him, of the centurion’ s servant at the entreaty of the elders of the Jews, and of the widow’ s son here, upon his sight of the woman’ s affliction, none soliciting him. Thereby showing us that we ought not to stay our hand from doing good when we have proper objects and opportunities before us, until we be importuned and solicited there unto. Christ saying to her, Weep not, forbade not the natural expression of her passion, but signified a sudden and not expected resurrection, so as she should not weep without hope. This said, he cometh and toucheth the bier, or the coffin, and saith not, Young man, in the name of God, I say unto thee, Arise; but, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise; thereby declaring to them (would they have understood it) that he was the Son of God, and while he was on earth had a power in and from himself by the word of his mouth to command the dead to arise.

Trapp's Commentary on Luke 7:11

11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people. Ver. 11. A city called Nain] A fair town not far from Tiberias, and watered by that ancient river, the river Kishon, Judges 5:21, as saith Jerome.

Ellicott's Commentary on Luke 7:11

(11) He went into a city called Nain.—The narrative that follows is peculiar to St. Luke. The name of the city has survived, with hardly any alteration, in the modern Nein. It lies on the north-western edge of the “Little Hermon” (the Jebel-ed-Dâhy) as the ground falls into the plain of Esdraelon. It is approached by a steep ascent, and on either side of the road the rock is full of sepulchral caves. It was on the way to one of these that the funeral procession was met by our Lord. We may reasonably infer that the miracle that followed was one which, from its circumstances, had specially fixed itself in the memories of the “devout women” of Luke 8:1, and that it was from them that St. Luke obtained his knowledge of it. (See Introduction.)

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Luke 7:11

Verse 11. Nain] A small city of Galilee, in the tribe of Issachar. According to Eusebius, it was two miles from Mount Tabor, southward; and near to Endor.

Cambridge Bible on Luke 7:11

11-17. The raising of the Son of the Widow of Nain.11. the day after] If the reading τῇ be right we must understand ἡμέρᾳ, ‘day.’ Some MSS. (ABL, &c.) read τῷ, which would give a wider limit of time. In Luke 8:1 we have ἐντῷκαθεξῆς, and it must be admitted that if ἐντῇἑξῆς be the right reading it is unique. For in Luke 9:37, ἡμέρᾳ is supplied; and in Acts 21:1; Acts 25:17; Acts 27:18, ἐν is omitted. There is no chronological difficulty about the event taking place the ‘next day,’ as I have shewn in my Life of Christ, I. 285. St Luke alone, with his characteristic tenderness, preserves for us this narrative.into a city called Nain] In the tribe of Issachar. The name means ‘lovely,’and it deserves the name from its site on the north-west slope of Jebel el Duhy, or Little Hermon, not far from Endor, and full in view of Tabor and the hills of Zebulon. It is twenty-five miles from Capernaum, and our Lord, starting in the cool of the very early morning, as Orientals always do, would reach it before noon. It is now a squalid and wretched village still bearing the name of Nein.many of his disciples went with, him, and much people] More literally, ‘there were accompanying Him His disciples, in considerable numbers, and a large multitude.’ In this first year of His ministry, before the deadly opposition to Him had gathered head, while as yet the Pharisees and leaders had not come to an open rupture with Him, and He had not sifted His followers by ‘hard sayings,’ our Lord was usually accompanied by adoring crowds.
