Luke 13

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

10 Ref And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath,

11 Ref and lo, there was a woman having a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bowed together, and not able to bend back at all,

12 Ref and Jesus having seen her, did call `her' near, and said to her, `Woman, thou hast been loosed from thy infirmity;'

13 Ref and he laid on her `his' hands, and presently she was set upright, and was glorifying God.

14 Ref And the chief of the synagogue answering -- much displeased that on the sabbath Jesus healed -- said to the multitude, `Six days there are in which it behoveth `us' to be working; in these, then, coming, be healed, and not on the sabbath-day.'

15 Ref Then the Lord answered him and said, `Hypocrite, doth not each of you on the sabbath loose his ox or ass from the stall, and having led away, doth water `it'?

16 Ref and this one, being a daughter of Abraham, whom the Adversary bound, lo, eighteen years, did it not behove to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?'

17 Ref And he saying these things, all who were opposed to him were being ashamed, and all the multitude were rejoicing over all the glorious things that are being done by him.

10 Ref And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath day.

11 Ref And behold, a woman that had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years; and she was bowed together, and could in no wise lift herself up.

12 Ref And when Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

13 Ref And he laid his hands upon her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

14 Ref And the ruler of the synagogue, being moved with indignation because Jesus had healed on the sabbath, answered and said to the multitude, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the day of the sabbath.

15 Ref But the Lord answered him, and said, Ye hypocrites, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?

16 Ref And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, lo, `these' eighteen years, to have been loosed from this bond on the day of the sabbath?

17 Ref And as he said these things, all his adversaries were put to shame: and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
