CHAPTER 7

Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, “Don’t cry.”

Then he went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!” The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.

They were all filled with awe and praised God. “A great prophet has appeared among us,” they said. “GOD HAS COME TO HELP HIS PEOPLE.” This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country.

[Hebrews 11:6]

JESUS RAISES
THE WIDOW'S SON

[Red Badger]

There sure were a lot of ‘widows’ in the Bible stories.................

[Hebrews 11:6]

Yes. Husbands killed in battle, primitive medical care....

[Red Badger]

Wonder what Joseph, Mary’s husband, died of? He completely disappears from the story after the Temple incident. Of course he was way older than Mary, by local customs. Jesus asked John to take care of his mother just before he died...................

[null and void]

The son of the widow of Nain is not further identified, he’s nainless...

[twyn1]

Also — the husbands were often older by 10 - 15 years.

I find the varied representations of the age of the son interesting. Everything from a youth to a grown man with a full beard. Also the depictions of pallor and weight/healthiness.

[Hebrews 11:6]

You can ask him in heaven, if the question still seems to matter by then.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Go directly to the Punitentiary. Do not pass GO, do not collect $200.

[Red Badger]

You know, I don’t think we will have to ask anybody anything.

Being in Heaven will mean being in the Holy Spirit, and as such, we will know everything that is needed to be known when necessary.

All things revealed...................

incredible paintings

Thanks again for finding and sharing these

Happy “little Christmas Eve’ ( as the Ukrainians say)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thanks

[null and void]

At least you didn’t say “Get thee to the punnery”

[xp38]

Not just Lazarus but others as well. Also there were some done by the Old Testament prophets too.

[Hebrews 11:6]

As is usual, you are probably correct.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I wish to silence, not emasculate, you.

[null and void]

That’s good. At least the second half is good...

[Hebrews 11:6]

Folks are returning to verticality everywhere!

[Red Badger]

Please tell my wife..................

[Ciexyz]

Merry Christmas to everyone!
