Luke:13:10-17
Seeker Overlay ON
*
He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day .
*
Behold ,
there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years ,
and she was bent over ,
and could in no way straighten herself up .
*
When Jesus saw her ,
he called her ,
and said to her , "
Woman ,
you are freed from your infirmity ."
*
He laid his hands on her ,
and immediately she stood up straight ,
and glorified God .
*
The ruler of the synagogue ,
being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath ,
said to the multitude , "
There are six days in which men ought to work .
Therefore come on those days and be healed ,
and not on the Sabbath day !"
*
Therefore the Lord answered him , "
You hypocrites !
Doesn '
t each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath ,
and lead him away to water ?
*
Ought not this woman ,
being a daughter of Abraham ,
whom Satan had bound eighteen long years ,
be freed from this bondage on the Sabbath day ?"
*
As he said these things ,
all his adversaries were disappointed ,
and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him .
