12. When He came near 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. And a large crowd from the city was with her.
13. When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.”
14. Then He came and touched the coffin, and those who carried it stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.”
15. He who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He gave him to his mother.
16. Fear came on everyone. And they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has risen up among us!” and “God has visited His people!”
17. This rumor of Him went throughout all Judea and the surrounding region.
18. The disciples of John told him of all these things.
19. John, calling for two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are You the One who is coming, or shall we look for another?”
20. When the men had come to Him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to You, saying, ‘Are You the One who is coming, or shall we look for another?’ ”
21. In that same hour He cured many of their infirmities and afflictions and evil spirits. And to many who were blind He gave sight.
22. So Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the gospel is preached to the poor.
