Luke 13:11-17

¹¹He saw a woman there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years—she was bent over and could not straighten up.

¹²So He called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity!”

¹³He placed His hands on her and immediately she was made straight and started glorifying God.

¹⁴But the ruler of the synagogue reacted with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, and he said to the crowd, “There are six days in which one should work; therefore come and be healed on them, and not on the Sabbath.”

¹⁵So the Lord answered him and said: “Hypocrites! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it away to water?

¹⁶So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan kept bound during eighteen long years, be freed from this bond on the Sabbath day?”

¹⁷When He said these things all His adversaries were put to shame, while all the crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things that were being done by Him.
