In context
9Perhaps it will bear fruit next season; if not, you can cut it down.’” 10He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath, 11and there was a woman there who for eighteen years had had a spirit that crippled her. She was bent double and could not straighten up at all. 12When Jesus saw her he called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity,” 13and he laid his hands on her. At once she stood upright and began praising God.
