Luke 13:10-17

A woman was there. Only Luke tells this healing of the Crippled Woman. A similar healing on the Sabbath is given in Matthew 12:10-13; Mark 3:1-5. That had kept her sick for eighteen years. A demon was the cause of her trouble (see Luke 13:16). When Jesus saw her. She had no thought of being healed. But when Jesus sees her need, he at once heals her. The official of the synagogue. One of the synagogue elders, who called together the congregation, preserved order, and who invited the readers and speakers. Jairus was one (Matthew 9:18). Was angry. He thought Jesus had "broken" the Sabbath. The Law did not say it was wrong to heal on the Sabbath, but Jewish Tradition did say so. And said to the people. He did not want to scold Jesus, so he scolds the people, expecting Jesus to understand he is really scolding him. There are six days. He is saying the woman should have been healed on a week day. You hypocrites! They would take care of their animals on the Sabbath, but refuse to help a human being. Whom Satan has kept in bonds. Satan brought sin, and sin brought disease into the world. All disease, then, is indirectly from Satan. But this woman's disease was due to an evil spirit. [Demons: see note on Matthew 4:24.]
