When the Lord saw her, His heart went out to her and He said, ‘Don\u2019t cry.’ Then He went up and touched the bier they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still. He said, ‘Young man, I say to you, get up!’ The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.\u201d<\/p>\n
