Nain, Israel

Nain, Israel

Nain is the place, where, according to the Bible, Jesus resurrected a young man. Nain is mentioned in the Gospel of Luke 7:11-17.

A widow, who was living in Nain, had lost her sole remaining son, and thus all she had to live for. When Jesus saw the dead son being carried out and the mourning widow, he felt compassion for her. He walked towards the stretcher, touched it, and told the man: "Young man, I say to you, rise!" The man came alive, sat up, and began to speak. The people who were standing around were all very struck by the event, and the report of it spread widely around the region.

Nain was probably a village a few kilometres south of Nazareth.
