Overview & Insights
"Woman, you are set free from your ailment." (Luke 13:12)
Jesus heals a woman crippled for eighteen years in a synagogue on the Sabbath, and the leader objects that healing is work. Jesus calls her a daughter of Abraham and insists that freeing her fits the Sabbath rather than violates it.
