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

10 When he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath, 11 there was a woman who for eighteen years had suffered weakness from an evil spirit; indeed she was bent double and quite unable to raise herself. 12 Jesus noticed her and called to her, "Woman, you are released from your weakness." 13 He laid his hands on her, and instantly she became erect and glorified God.

14 But the president of the synagogue was annoyed at Jesus healing on the sabbath, and he said to the crowd, "There are six days for work to be done; come during them to get healed, instead of on the sabbath."

15 The Lord replied to him, "You hypocrites, does not each of you untether his ox or ass from the stall on the sabbath and lead it away to drink? 16 And this woman, a daughter of Abraham, bound by Satan for all these eighteen years, was she not to be freed from her bondage on the sabbath?"

17 As he said this, all his opponents were put to shame, but all the crowd rejoiced over all his splendid doings.
