A Crippled Woman Healed on the Sabbath
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.
