Pericope: Luke 13:10-17 10 On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in

one of the synagogues, 11 and a woman was there who had been

crippled by a spirit 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 set free from your

infirmity.” 13 Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she

straightened up and praised God. 14 Indignant because Jesus

had healed on the Sabbath, the synagogue leader said to the

people, “There are six days for work. So come and be healed on

those days, not on the Sabbath.” 15 The Lord answered him, “You

hypocrites! Doesn’t each of you on the Sabbath untie your ox or

donkey from the stall and lead it out to give it water? 16 Then

should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has

kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath

day from what bound her?” 17 When he said this, all his opponents

were humiliated, but the people were delighted with all the

wonderful things he was doing.
