- We’ve noted some of the similarities between Jesus and Elijah, but it’s worth revisiting this connection. Luke emphasizes their similarities in order to remind us ultimately just how different the two men are. Read 1 Kings 17:10-24 and also Luke 7:11-17.

While the account in 1 Kings is longer and has elements that do not resurface in Luke, the basic thread of the two resurrections is almost identical. But interestingly, the event of resurrection itself in each story is quite different. While Elijah calls out to the Lord and stretches himself on the boy three times, Jesus has a simpler approach. (See table below.)
Jesus doesn’t call out to God, because He is God. He simply commands the boy to live and he does. In this way Luke makes the connection with Elijah, emphasizing points of similarity in order to distinguish Him from Elijah so that we know one greater than Elijah is here.
Elijah
Jesus
Elijah cries out to the Lord and stretches himself on the boy three times. (1 Kings 17:21)
Jesus speaks a word of command. Jesus spoke and the boy came back to life. (Luke 7:14)
