Gospel
for June 9th ( X Sunday in Ordinary time)
Jesus journeyed to a city called Nain, and
his disciples and a large crowd accompanied him. As he drew near
to the gate of the city, a man who had died was being carried out, the
only son of his mother, and she was a widow. A large crowd from the
city was with her. When the Lord saw her, he was
moved with pity for her and said to her, “Do not weep.” He
stepped forward and touched the coffin; at this the bearers halted, and
he said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!” The dead man sat up and
began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother. Fear
seized them all, and they glorified God, exclaiming, “A great prophet
has arisen in our midst, ” and “God has visited his people.” This
report about him spread through the whole of Judea and in all the
surrounding region.
