Luke 13:10-17 ▼

10 And He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.

11 And there was a woman who for eighteen years had had a sickness caused by a spirit; and she was bent double, and could not straighten up at all.

12 When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said to her, |Woman, you are freed from your sickness.|

13 And He laid His hands on her; and immediately she was made erect again and [began] glorifying God.

14 But the synagogue official, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, [began] saying to the crowd in response, |There are six days in which work should be done; so come during them and get healed, and not on the Sabbath day.|

15 But the Lord answered him and said, |You hypocrites, does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the stall and lead him away to water [him]?

16 |And this woman, a daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan has bound for eighteen long years, should she not have been released from this bond on the Sabbath day?|

17 As He said this, all His opponents were being humiliated; and the entire crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things being done by Him.
