Luke vii. 11-17.-And it came to pass the day after, that
he went into a city called Nain; and many of his dis-
ciples went with him, and much people. Now when he
came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a
dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and
she was a widow: and much people of the city was with
her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion
on her, and said unto her, Weep not. And he came and
