Luke 13: 11-17
A woman there had an evil sprit that had kept her sick for eighteen years; she was bent over and could not straighten up at all.
When Jesus saw her, He called out to her, “Woman, you are free from your sickness!” He placed His hands on her, and at once she straightened herself up and praised God.
The official of the synagogue was angry that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, so he spoke up and said to the people, “There are six days in which we should work; so come during those days and be healed, but not on the Sabbath!”
The Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Any one of you would untie his ox or his donkey from the stall and take it out to give it water on the Sabbath. Now here is this descendant of Abraham whom Satan has kept in bonds for eighteen years; should she not be released on the Sabbath?”
His answer made His enemies ashamed of themselves, while the people rejoiced over all the wonderful things that He did.
