Luke 13:12

Jesus
Sickness and healingMercy and compassion

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

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

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.

14 But the synagogue leader was indignant that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. “There are six days for work,” he told the crowd. “So come and be healed on those days and not on the Sabbath.”
