Luke 13:8-17

⁸And he answering, said to him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it :

⁹And if it shall bear fruit, well : and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

¹⁰And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.

¹¹And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise raise herself .

¹²And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him , and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thy infirmity.

¹³And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

¹⁴And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the sabbath, and said to the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath.

¹⁵The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?

¹⁶And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, to be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?

¹⁷And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
