¹⁰As He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath, ^x¹¹a woman was there who had been disabled by a spirit ^y^zfor over 18 years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. ^a¹²When Jesus saw her, He called out to her, ^b“^•Woman, you are free of your disability.” ¹³Then He laid His hands on her, ^cand instantly she was restored ^dand began to glorify God. ^e

¹⁴But the leader of the synagogue, indignant ^fbecause Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, responded by telling the crowd, “There are six days when work should be done; ^gtherefore come on those days and be healed and not on the Sabbath day.”

¹⁵But the Lord answered him and said, “Hypocrites! ^hDoesn’t each one of you untie his ox ⁱor donkey from the feeding trough ^jon the Sabbath and lead it to water? ^k¹⁶Satan ^lhas bound ^mthis woman, a daughter of Abraham, ⁿfor 18 years—shouldn’t she be untied from this bondage on the Sabbath day?”

¹⁷When He had said these things, all His adversaries ^owere humiliated, ^pbut the whole crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things He was doing. ^q
