Jesus healing an infirm woman


Jesus healing an infirm woman is one of the miracles of Jesus in the Gospels.

Biblical accounts

According to the Gospel, Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on Sabbath, and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her:
Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God.
Indignant because Jesus had healed on Sabbath, the synagogue ruler said to the people, "There are six days for work. So come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath."
Jesus answered him:
When he said this, all his opponents were humiliated, but the people were delighted with all the wonderful things he was doing.
