10 Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.

11 And there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years; she was bent over and could not straighten up at all.

12 When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, »Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.«

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

14 But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the people, »There are six days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day.«

15 Then the Lord answered him, »You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it?

16 Then ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for eighteen years, be loosed on the Sabbath day from this bond?«

17 When he said this, all his adversaries were put to shame; and all the people rejoiced at all the glorious things that were done by him.
