Luke 13:12

12 When he saw her, Jesus called her to him and said, " Woman, you are set free from your sickness."

Luke 13:12 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 13:12

And when Jesus saw her
In the synagogue among the people, either whilst, or after he had done teaching:

he called her to him,
to come nearer him, and said unto her; of his own accord, without being asked by the woman, or any other for her, out of great compassion to her, seeing her in this miserable condition, and knowing full well the nature, cause, and long continuance of her disorder:

woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity;
which had not only bowed her, but it had bound her, as if she had been bound with cords; but Christ by saying these words, with his hands laid upon her, burst her bonds asunder, dispossessed the evil spirit, and delivered her from her long affliction.

Luke 13:12 In-Context

10 Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.
11 A woman was there who had been disabled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and couldn't stand up straight.
12 When he saw her, Jesus called her to him and said, "Woman, you are set free from your sickness."
13 He placed his hands on her and she straightened up at once and praised God.
14 The synagogue leader, incensed that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, responded, "There are six days during which work is permitted. Come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath day."
