Some take this use of the phrase "the Lord," as an evidence of the late date at which Luke wrote his Gospel; but the point is not well taken, for John used it even before Jesus ascension (Joh 21:7). He had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. As the funeral procession came out of the gate, they met Jesus with his company coming in. Hence there were many witnesses to what followed. But the miracle in this instance was not wrought so much attest our Lord's commission, or to show his power, as to do good. As Jesus had no other business in Nain but to do good, we may well believe that he went there for the express purpose of comforting this forlorn mother. Compare Joh 11:1-5. Good blessings may come to us when reason speaks and God's wise judgment answers; but we get our best blessings when our afflictions cry unto him and his compassion replies. Treasury of Scripture Knowledge: * he. Jg 10:16; Ps 86:5; 103:13; Isa 63:9; Jer 31:20; La 3:32,33 Mr 8:2; Joh 11:33-35; Heb 2:17; 4:15 * Weep not. Lu 8:52; Jer 31:15,16; Joh 20:13,15; 1Co 7:30; 1Th 4:13   Robertson's Word Pictures:  The Lord saw her (idôn autên ho kurios). The Lord of Life confronts death (Plummer) and Luke may use Kurios here purposely. Had compassion (esplagchthê). First aorist (ingressive) passive indicative of splagchnizomai. Often love and pity are mentioned as the motives for Christ's miracles (Mt 14:14; 15:32, etc.). It is confined to the Synoptics in the N.T. and about Christ save in the parables by Christ. Weep not (mê klaie). Present imperative in a prohibition. Cease weeping.   William Burkitt's Notes: No comment on this verse.   Family Bible Notes: No comment on this verse.   1599 Geneva Bible Notes: No comment on this verse.   People's New Testament Commentary: Sorrow or need always touched his loving heart.
