Luke 13:10-17 - A Woman With A Disabling Spirit Healed

¹⁰ As he was teaching in a synagogue on the sabbath-day, a woman was present, ¹¹ who had been kept infirm by a spirit eighteen years: and stooped in such a manner, she was not able to hold up her head strait. ¹² Jesus seeing her, called her to him, and said, woman you are freed from your disorder. ¹³ then he laid his hands upon her: and instantly she stood upright, and glorified God.

¹⁴ but the ruler of the synagogue being highly incensed at Jesus's healing on the sabbath-day, said to the people, there are six days for work, you should come therefore for cure on those days, and not on the sabbath.

¹⁵ to which Jesus replied, thou hypocrite, who is there among you that scruples to untie his ox or his ass, and lead him from the stall to water on the sabbath-day? ¹⁶ and must not this daughter of Abraham, whom satan has held bound these eighteen years, be disengag'd from this bond, on a sabbath-day?

¹⁷ at which all his adversaries were confounded. but the people were highly pleased, at the glorious actions which he perform'd.
