Luke 13:10–17

A Woman Healed on the Sabbath

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

¹¹And behold, there was a woman who for eighteen years had ^1aa sickness caused by a spirit, and she was bent double, and could not straighten up at all.

¹²But when Jesus saw her, He called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your sickness.”

¹³And He ^alaid His hands on her, and immediately she was made erect again and began ^bglorifying God.

¹⁴But ^athe synagogue official, indignant because Jesus ^bhealed on the Sabbath, answered and was saying to the crowd, “^cThere are six days in which work should be done; so come during them and get healed, and not on the Sabbath day.”

¹⁵But ^athe Lord answered him and said, “You hypocrites, ^bdoes not each of you on the Sabbath release his ox or his donkey from the stall and lead it away to water it?

¹⁶“And this woman, ^abeing a daughter of Abraham, whom ^bSatan has bound for—behold—eighteen years, should she not have been released from this bond on the Sabbath day?”

¹⁷And as He said this, all His opponents were being put to shame; and ^athe entire crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things being done by Him.
