One Sabbath day as Jesus was teaching in a synagogue, 

he saw a woman who had been crippled by an evil spirit. 

She had been bent double for eighteen years 

and was unable to stand up straight.

When Jesus saw her, 

he called her over and said, 

“Dear woman, you are healed of your sickness!” 

Then he touched her, 

and instantly she could stand straight. 

How she praised God! 

Luke 13:10-13
