Luke 13:12

12 When Jesus saw her, he called out to her, "Woman, you are 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 One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in a synagogue.

11 A woman there had an evil spirit that had kept her sick for eighteen years; she was bent over and could not straighten up at all.

12 When Jesus saw her, he called out to her, "Woman, you are free from your sickness!"

13 He placed his hands on her, and at once she straightened herself up and praised God.

14 The official of the synagogue was angry that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, so he spoke up and said to the people, "There are six days in which we should work; so come during those days and be healed, but not on the Sabbath!"
