Lk 7:11-17

Jesus journeyed to a city called Nain,
and his disciples and a large crowd accompanied him.
As he drew near to the gate of the city,
a man who had died was being carried out,
the only son of his mother, and she was a widow.
A large crowd from the city was with her.
When the Lord saw her,
he was moved with pity for her and said to her,
"Do not weep."
He stepped forward and touched the coffin;
at this the bearers halted,
and he said, "Young man, I tell you, arise!"
The dead man sat up and began to speak,
and Jesus gave him to his mother.
Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, exclaiming,
"A great prophet has arisen in our midst,"
and "God has visited his people."
This report about him spread through the whole of Judea
and in all the surrounding region.

This is an interesting passage. To be honest it came as a bit of a surprise. It shows the amazing number of works that Jesus performed that this account can almost be forgotten. Imagine if Muhammad had done this. Of course he didn't. Only God can raise someone spontaneously from death.

  1. I wasn't surprised. Your naivety and unquestioning belief in christian nonsense no longer is a shock.

  2. Actually I've studied christianity and theology thoroughly and found no reason to doubt that the Scriptures are inspired by God.
