12. As he approached the town gate, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother (who was a widow), and a large crowd from the town was with her.
13. When the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, “Do not weep.”
14. Then he came up and touched the bier, and those who carried it stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”
15. So the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.
16. Fear seized them all, and they began to glorify God, saying, “A great prophet has appeared among us!” and “God has come to help his people!”
17. This report about Jesus circulated throughout Judea and all the surrounding country.
18. John’s disciples informed him about all these things. So John called two of his disciples
19. and sent them to Jesus to ask, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?”
20. When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?’”
