Seeker Overlay ON

* Once he was teaching in one of the synagogues , on the Sabbath , * a woman was present who had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years . she was bent double , and could not lift herself up at all . * Jesus noticed her and called to him and said , "Woman , you are free from your weakness ." * Then he placed his hand on her , and she instantly stood upright and began to give glory to God . * But the ruler of the synagogue was indignant at Jesus for healing her on the Sabbath , and said to the crowd . "There are six days of the week on which men ought to work . Therefore come during those , and get cured , but not on the Sabbath Day ." * But the Lord answered him . "Hypocrites !" he said , "does not each one of you loose his ox or his ass from the stall on the Sabbath Day , and lead it to water , * "and this woman , who is the daughter of Abraham , whom Satan has bound these eighteen years , ought she not have been loosened from bondage , though the day be the Sabbath ?" * As he said this , all adversaries were put to shame ; and all the crowd rejoiced for the glorious things that he continually did .
