And he was teaching in one of the synagogues, on the Sabbath.

And lo! a woman, having a spirit of weakness eighteen years, - and was bowed together, and unable to lift herself up, at all.

And, seeing her, Jesus called her and said to her - Woman! thou art loosed from thy weakness, -

and laid on her his hands; and, instantly, she was made straight again, and began glorifying God.

But the synagogue-ruler, answering, being greatly displeased that, on the Sabbath, Jesus had healed, began saying unto the multitude - Six days, there are, in which men ought to get their work done; On them, therefore, come and be healed, and, not on the day of rest.

The Lord answered him, and said - Hypocrites! Doth not, each one of you, on the Sabbath, loose his ox or ass from the manger, and, leading it away, give it drink?

But, this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, lo! eighteen years, was there not a needs-be that she should be loosed from this bond, on the day of rest?

And, as he was saying, these, things, all who had been setting themselves against him were being put to shame; and, all the multitude, were rejoicing over all the glorious things which were being brought to pass by him.
