Mass Lectionary · GospelLuke 7:11–17
It happened afterwards that he went to a city, which is called Nain. And his disciples, and an abundant crowd, went with him.
Then, when he had drawn near to the gate of the city, behold, a deceased person was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her.
And when the Lord had seen her, being moved by mercy over her, he said to her, “Do not weep.”
And he drew near and touched the coffin. Then those who carried it stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.”
And the dead youth sat up and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
Then fear fell over all of them. And they magnified God, saying: “For a great prophet has risen up among us,” and, “For God has visited his people.”
And this word about him went out to all of Judea and to the entire surrounding region.

Standing beside the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother’s sister, and Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
Therefore, when Jesus had seen his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold your son.”
Next, he said to the disciple, “Behold your mother.” And from that hour, the disciple accepted her as his own.
