And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
Note 3 at Lu 7:15: This was the first of three people that Jesus raised from the dead, the others being Jairus' daughter (Mt 9:25, Mr 5:42, and Lu 8:55) and Lazarus (Joh 11:44). Three people were raised from the dead in the Old Testament. One was raised by Elijah (1Ki 17:22), one by Elisha (2Ki 4:35), and one man came back to life as he touched Elisha's bones (2Ki 13:21). Peter and Paul each saw one person raised from the dead (Ac 9:40 and 20:9-12). It is possible that Paul was raised from the dead in Ac 14:19-20. Many saints were resurrected at Jesus' crucifixion (Mt 27:52), and most importantly of all, Jesus Himself was resurrected (see note 14 at Joh 5:28).
