Jesus raised the widow's son from the dead
Luke 7:11-18
Soon afterward, 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 bier they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still.

He does not wait for anyone to plead with Him
He sees the widowed mother, He has "compassion on her
Jesus is not pretentious when He touches the coffin, but in humility He offers hope
The Miracle
This miracle produces fear in those who witness it, but this fear turns into a deep feeling of awe for His compassion and power
His primary purpose is to glorify God. The people glorify God when they say, "A great prophet has risen up among us" and "God has visited His people."
Deuteronomy 18:15
"The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear,
