So spoke the Lord unto those which were come up from Jerusalem, and it came about that on the next day the Lord went into a village of Galilee called Nain; and there went with him many of his disciples.

See: Galilee, Yeshua

Summary: A small village in Galilee about two miles south of Mount Tabor, Nain was the location of a healing event in which Yeshua, having traveled from Capernaum (Y:12:74), arrived at the gates of the village during burial proceedings for a young boy thought to be dead (Y:13:10). The youth was the only son of a widow, who after hearing Yeshua was near, ran to kneel before him while weeping for the loss of her son. Yeshua went on to restore the young boy back to life (Y:13:10-17). This event likely took place during the second month of 35 CE (Y:12:74).

13. And the Lord, seeing her, was filled with tenderness and he spoke to her, saying: “Weep not, my daughter, for even I shall restore unto you the son which is lost.”
