nother time Jesus raised the son of the widow at Nain back to life (Luke 7:11—17). The position of widows in Middle-Eastern culture is tragic if they have no male relatives to care for them. As Jesus watched this funeral procession coming out of Nain, He saw the few casket carriers and this one single woman walking behind it. He realized, There’s no other male relative to care for this woman. Out of compassion for this poor widow, Jesus reached out and touched this young man and restored him to life.
