This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Soon afterwards (en toi hexēs). According to this reading supply chronōi, time. Other MSS. read tēi hexēs (supply hēmerāi, day). Hexēs occurs in Luke and Acts in the N.T. though old adverb of time.
That (Hoti). Not in the Greek, the two verbs egeneto and eporeuthē having no connective (asyndeton).
Went with him (suneporeuonto autōi). Imperfect middle picturing the procession of disciples and the crowd with Jesus. Nain is not mentioned elsewhere in the N.T. There is today a hamlet about two miles west of Endor on the north slope of Little Hermon. There is a burying-place still in use. Robinson and Stanley think that the very road on which the crowd with Jesus met the funeral procession can be identified.
