Jesus was teaching in a synagogue on the Sabbath when he saw a woman who had been unable to stand up straight for 18 years due to an illness. Jesus called her over, told her she was healed, touched her, and immediately she could stand up straight and praise God. Jesus defended healing on the Sabbath by saying the woman, as a daughter of Abraham who had been bound by Satan for 18 years, should be freed from her affliction on this day of rest.

2. 10 And he was teaching in one of the
synagogues on the sabbath.
11 And, behold, there was a woman which
had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and
was bowed together, and could in no wise lift
up herself.

3. 12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to
him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art
loosed from thine infirmity.
13 And he laid his hands on her: and
immediately she was made straight, and
glorified God.

4. And ought not this woman, being a daughter
of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo,
these eighteen years, be loosed from this
bond on the sabbath day?

5. If my people, which are called by my name,
shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek
my face, and turn from their wicked ways;
then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive
their sin, and will heal their land.
