Luke 13:12

12 Jesus saw her. He asked her to come to him. He said to her, "Woman, you will no longer be disabled. I am about to set you free."

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 a Sabbath day.
11 A woman there had been disabled by an evil spirit for 18 years. She was bent over and could not stand up straight.
12 Jesus saw her. He asked her to come to him. He said to her, "Woman, you will no longer be disabled. I am about to set you free."
13 Then he put his hands on her. Right away she stood up straight and praised God.
14 Jesus had healed the woman on the Sabbath day. This made the synagogue ruler angry. He told the people, "There are six days for work. So come and be healed on those days. But do not come on the Sabbath."
