Dr. Luke alone records the raising from the dead of the son of the widow of Nain. He is the only Gospel writer who records Jesus' raising of two persons from the dead, the other being Jairus' daughter (8:54-55).
Also in this chapter is the first of 18 parables that Luke alone records. It grew out of Jesus' visit to the home of a Pharisee where a woman anointed His feet with ointment. The simple parable of the two debtors reveals that this woman of the street was better in God's sight than Simon, the Pharisee.
