Luke 13:11

Sickness and healingSuffering

9 If it bears fruit next year, fine. But if not, you can cut it down.’”

10 One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,

and a woman there had been disabled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was hunched over and could not stand up straight.

12 When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said, “Woman, you are set free from your disability.”

13 Then He placed His hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and began to glorify God.
