Expositor's Bible Commentary Commentary Luke 7:11

"And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great multitude." — Luke 7:11 (ASV)

Nain lay a few miles to the southeast of Jesus’ hometown, Nazareth. Luke typically notes the “large crowd” (e.g., 5:15, 29; 6:17; 8:4).
