Study note
Setting — The narrator records Jesus traveling to Nain with His disciples and a large crowd, positioned chronologically between the centurion’s servant recovery and the approach to the town gate.
The words — ἑξῆς (hexēs) literally means “next [day],” and ἐπορεύθη (eporeuthē) means “He went,” structuring the narrative as a deliberate itinerary.
The thread — This movement establishes the geographic sequence that Acts 10:38 summarizes as Jesus going about doing good and healing.
Why it lands — The text requires the reader to note the physical progression of Jesus before the miracle occurs, treating the journey as a factual prerequisite rather than a symbolic event.
