Theophylact of Ohrid, 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.”

“By the widow also you may understand a soul that has lost her husband in the divine word. Her son is the understanding, which is carried out beyond the city of the living. Its coffin is the body, which some indeed have called the tomb. But the Lord touching him raises him up, causing him to become young, and rising from sin he begins to speak and teach others. For before he would not have been believed.”
