Jesus Came To Set You Free
Jesus Came To Set You Free

10 Jesús estaba enseñando en una de las sinagogas un día de reposo,
10 Now He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.
11 And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up.
12 But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.”
13 And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14 But the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath; and he said to the crowd, “There are six days on which men ought to work; therefore come and be healed on them, and not on the Sabbath day.”
15 The Lord then answered him and said, “Hypocrite! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it?
16 So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound—think of it—for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?”
17 And when 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.
Introduction
The story of healing this woman is unique to Luke. It reveals the unfruitfulness of the nation of Israel to which Jesus’ parable of the unfruitful tree alludes (in the previous passage, see 13:6–8). Instead of finding love, justice, humility, and mercy among God’s people, Jesus found an arrogance that didn’t even allow healing a woman on the Sabbath, the day set aside for the God of mercy.
The Jewish leaders had perverted God’s law so much that they were using it as an excuse to squelch compassion and godliness, instead of as a tool to promote a love of God and others.

Their hypocrisy was evident, and Jesus plainly said so (as he had previously, 12:56). Jesus exposes the same type of hypocrisy today. Christians should always be careful to never use religion as an excuse to judge others. Instead, Christians need to show love and mercy to other people, no matter who they are.

Life Application Bible Commentary, Luke Jesus Heals the Crippled Woman / 13:10–17 / 146
One Sabbath day as Jesus was teaching in a synagogue, he saw a woman who had been crippled by an evil spirit. She had been bent double for eighteen years and was unable to stand up straight.

At this particular time, as Jesus looked over the crowd, he saw a woman who … had been bent double for eighteen years. The text explains that this was the work of an evil spirit. She may not have been demon possessed, because a demon didn’t speak and Jesus did not cast out any demon. Instead, this woman’s painful affliction is attributed to Satan’s work in the world
Life Application Bible Commentary, Luke Jesus Heals the Crippled Woman / 13:10–17 / 146
Jesus had already come into conflict with the religious leaders over how the Sabbath should be used. He consistently flouted their many laws, one of which was not to work on the Sabbath—meaning, to the Pharisees, not even doing a good deed such as healing a person
