Luke 13:10-17

New American Standard Bible 1995

Healing on the Sabbath

¹⁰ And He was ^(A)teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. ¹¹ And there was a woman who for eighteen years had had ^(B)a sickness caused by a spirit; and she was bent double, and could not straighten up at all. ¹² When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your sickness.” ¹³ And He ^(C)laid His hands on her; and immediately she was made erect again and began ^(D)glorifying God. ¹⁴ But ^(E)the synagogue official, indignant because Jesus ^(F)had healed on the Sabbath, began saying to the crowd in response, “^(G)There are six days in which work should be done; so come during them and get healed, and not on the Sabbath day.” ¹⁵ But ^(H)the Lord answered him and said, “You hypocrites, ^(I)does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the stall and lead him away to water him? ¹⁶ And this woman, ^(J)a daughter of Abraham as she is, whom ^(K)Satan has bound for eighteen long years, should she not have been released from this bond on the Sabbath day?” ¹⁷ As He said this, all His opponents were being humiliated; and ^(L)the entire crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things being done by Him.
