Luke 13:10-17
Chapter 13
and just then there appeared a woman who an evil spirit had caused to be bent for eighteen years, preventing her from straightening up at all.
Seeing her, Jesus called her over and said:
“Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.”
Then he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight and praised God.
But the ruler of the synagogue was angry because Jesus had performed this healing on the Sabbath day, and he said to the people:
“There are six days for work. Come on those days to be healed, not on the Sabbath!”
But the Lord replied:
“You hypocrites! Everyone of you unties his ox or his donkey on the Sabbath and leads it out of the barn to give it water.
And here you have a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for eighteen years. Should she not be freed from her bonds on the Sabbath?”
When Jesus said this, all his opponents felt ashamed. But the people rejoiced at the many amazing things that happened because of him.
