Luke 13

Healing a Daughter of Abraham

10 As he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath,  * 13:10 Lk 4:31; 6:611 a woman was there who had been disabled by a spirit  * 13:11 Lit had a spirit of disability,* 13:11 Mt 8:17; Lk 4:33; 6:18; 7:21; 8:2,29; 9:39 for over eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all.  * 13:11 Or straighten up completely12 When Jesus saw her, he called out to her,  * 13:12 Or he summoned her"Woman, you are free of your disability."13 Then he laid his hands on her,  * 13:13 Mt 19:15; Mk 5:23; 6:2,5; 8:23; Lk 4:40 and instantly she was restored  * 13:13 Ac 15:16; Heb 12:12 and began to glorify God.  * 13:13 Jn 11:4

14 But the leader of the synagogue, indignant  * 13:14 Mt 20:24; 21:15; 26:8; Mk 10:14,41; 14:4 because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, responded by telling the crowd, "There are six days when work should be done;  * 13:14 Ex 20:9; Ezk 46:1 therefore come on those days and be healed and not on the Sabbath day."

15 But the Lord answered him and said, "Hypocrites!* 13:15 Lk 6:42Doesn’t each one of you untie his ox* 13:15 Lk 14:5,19; 1Co 9:9or donkey from the feeding trough* 13:15 Lk 2:7,12,16on the Sabbath and lead it to water?* 13:15 Mt 12:11; Lk 14:516 Satan* 13:16 Mt 4:1,10; Ac 13:10has bound* 13:16 Mk 5:3; 15:1; 2Tm 2:9this woman, a daughter of Abraham,* 13:16 Gn 16:15; Jn 8:37; Heb 2:16for eighteen years — shouldn’t she be untied from this bondage* 13:16 Or isn’t it necessary that she be untied from this bondageon the Sabbath day? "

17 When he had said these things, all his adversaries  * 13:17 Lk 21:5; 1Co 16:9; Php 1:28; 1Tm 5:14 were humiliated,  * 13:17 Ps 132:18; Is 45:16 LXX; 1Pt 3:16 but the whole crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things he was doing.  * 13:17 Is 12:5
