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.
