Lucas 13:13

13 Y puso las manos sobre ella; y luego se enderezó, y glorificaba a Dios

Lucas 13:13 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 13:13

And he laid his hands on her
As he spoke the above words, which he sometimes did when he healed diseases.

And immediately she was made straight;
she lift up herself, stood upright, and her body, and all the parts of it were as straight as ever they had been, or as any were in the synagogue.

And glorified God;
that is, "the woman" glorified God, as the Persic version expresses it; she was filled with thankfulness for the mercy, and gave God the glory of it. This woman was an emblem of a poor sinner held in the bonds of iniquity by Satan, and led captive by him at his will, who can by no means raise himself; nor is he able to lift up his head to heaven, or look upwards to Christ for deliverance; and yet attends upon the outward ministry, when Christ, in his own time, meets with him under it, and manifests his power and grace, breaks his bonds asunder, delivers him out of Satan's hands, and from the bondage of his own corruptions, sets him straight, and causes him to lift up his head, and look to him for life and salvation; and so puts a new song into his mouth, even praise to God, to whose free grace and favour he readily ascribes his deliverance.

Lucas 13:13 In-Context

11 Y he aquí una mujer que tenía espíritu de enfermedad hacía dieciocho años, y andaba agobiada, que en ninguna manera se podía enderezar

12 Cuando Jesús la vio, la llamó, y le dijo: Mujer, libre eres de tu enfermedad

13 Y puso las manos sobre ella; y luego se enderezó, y glorificaba a Dios

14 Y respondiendo el príncipe de la sinagoga, enojado de que Jesús hubiera curado en sábado, dijo a la congregación: Seis días hay en que conviene obrar; en éstos, pues, venid y sed curados, y no en días de sábado

15 Entonces el Señor le respondió, y dijo: Hipócrita, cada uno de vosotros ¿no desata en sábado su buey o su asno del pesebre, y lo lleva a beber
