The resurrection of the widow’s son at Nain
Jesus raises a widow’s son at Nain, illustrating his divine power and his role as a prophet. The event, recounted in Luke 7:11-17, takes place after the Sermon on the Mount and draws a large crowd. The villagers see Jesus as a great prophet, and the news spreads throughout Galilee and Judea.
Luke 7.11-17 (King James Version) :And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judæa, and throughout all the region round about.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -

Jesus the Messiah’s departure for other towns
Pericope 112 analyses Jesus’ departure on a journey through the towns and villages of Galilee (Mt 11.1), dated to May–June AD31. Unlike John the Baptist, who remained in one place, Jesus actively travelled throughout the region to proclaim the Kingdom of Heaven, guided by the Holy Spirit, so as to reach even the poorest, who could not travel to him.
