In Luke 13:10-21, Jesus performs a healing on the Sabbath, freeing a woman from an eighteen-year disabling spirit, which provokes indignation from the synagogue ruler. He emphasizes that compassion and healing should not be restricted by religious law, likening the kingdom of God to a mustard seed that grows and leaven influencing flour. The passage illustrates the authority of Jesus and the need to recognize and address spiritually crippling influences in our lives.

2. Luke 13:10-12
Now he was teaching in one of the
synagogues on the Sabbath. And behold,
there was a woman who had had a
disabling spirit for eighteen years. She was
bent over and could not fully straighten
herself. When Jesus saw her, he called her
over and said to her, “Woman, you are
freed from your disability.”

3. Luke 13:13-14
And he laid his hands on her, and
immediately she was made straight, and
she glorified God. But the ruler of the
synagogue, indignant because Jesus had
healed on the Sabbath, said to the people,
“There are six days in which work ought to
be done. Come on those days and be
healed, and not on the Sabbath day.”

4. Luke 13:15-16
Then the Lord answered him, “You
hypocrites! Does not each of you on the
Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the
manger and lead it away to water it? And
ought not this woman, a daughter of
Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen
years, be loosed from this bond on the
Sabbath day?”

5. Luke 13:17-18
As he said these things, all his adversaries
were put to shame, and all the people
rejoiced at all the glorious things that were
done by him. He said therefore, “What is
the kingdom of God like? And to what shall
I compare it?

6. Luke 13:19-21
It is like a grain of mustard seed that a man
took and sowed in his garden, and it grew
and became a tree, and the birds of the air
made nests in its branches.” And again he
said, “To what shall I compare the kingdom
of God? It is like leaven that a woman took
and hid in three measures of flour, until it
was all leavened.”
