Luke 13:8-12

⁸‘Leave it this one year more, Sir,’ the man answered, ‘until I have dug around it and manured it.

⁹Then, if it bears in future, well and good; but if not, you can have it cut down.’”

¹⁰Jesus was teaching on a Sabbath in one of the synagogues,

¹¹and he saw before him a woman who for eighteen years had suffered from weakness owing to her having an evil spirit in her. She was bent double, and was wholly unable to raise herself.

¹²When Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said, “Woman, you are released from your weakness.”
