10 One Sabbath, Jesus was teaching in a Jewish meeting place,
11 and a woman was there who had been crippled by an evil spirit for eighteen years. She was completely bent over and could not straighten up.
12 When Jesus saw the woman, he called her over and said, “You are now well.”
13 He placed his hands on her, and at once she stood up straight and praised God.
14 The man in charge of the meeting place was angry because Jesus had healed someone on the Sabbath. So he said to the people, “Each week has six days when we can work. Come and be healed on one of those days, but not on the Sabbath.”
15 The Lord replied, “Are you trying to fool someone? Won't any one of you untie your ox or donkey and lead it out to drink on a Sabbath?
16 This woman belongs to the family of Abraham, but Satan has kept her bound for eighteen years. Isn't it right to set her free on the Sabbath?”
