Exodus 35:4-9 and Luke 7:11-17 (NLT)

Exodus 35:4-9
Material for the Tabernacle

4  Then Moses said to the whole community of Israel, “This is what the Lord has commanded: 
5  Take a sacred offering for the Lord. Let those with generous hearts present the following gifts to the Lord:  gold, silver, and bronze;
6  blue, purple, and scarlet thread; fine linen and goat hair for cloth;
7  tanned ram skins and fine goatskin leather; acacia wood;
8  olive oil for the lamps; spices for the anointing oil and the fragrant incense;
9  onyx stones, and other gemstones to be set in the ephod and the priest’s chestpiece.

Luke 7:11-17
Jesus Raises a Widow's Son

11  Soon afterward Jesus went with his disciples to the village of Nain, and a large crowd followed him. 
12  A funeral procession was coming out as he approached the village gate. The young man who had died was a widow’s only son, and a large crowd from the village was with her. 
13  When the Lord saw her, his heart overflowed with compassion. “Don’t cry!” he said. 
14  Then he walked over to the coffin and touched it, and the bearers stopped. “Young man,” he said, “I tell you, get up.” 
15  Then the dead boy sat up and began to talk! And Jesus gave him back to his mother.
16  Great fear swept the crowd, and they praised God, saying, “A mighty prophet has risen among us,” and “God has visited his people today.” 
17   And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding countryside.
