Luke 13:10-17 tells the story of Jesus healing a woman who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. The woman, who had been coming to the synagogue for years, was bent over and unable to straighten herself. When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, "Woman, you are set free from your infirmity." He placed his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight and praised God.
This passage highlights Jesus' compassion and healing power, as well as his willingness to confront religious leaders who valued rules over mercy. It also encourages readers to turn to Jesus in times of physical and spiritual affliction, trusting in his power to heal and restore.
