Bede the Venerable, on Luke 7:11

“And it came to pass afterwards, that he went into a city that is called Naim; and there went with him his disciples, and a great multitude.”

“But well does the Evangelist testify that the Lord is first moved with compassion for the mother, and then raises her son, that in the one case He might set before us for our imitation an example of piety, in the other He might build up our belief in His wonderful power. Hence it follows. And there came a fear upon all, and they glorified God, &c.”
