Luke 13:10-17

Repentance, Kingdom Reversal, and the Urgent Narrow Door

Jesus turns questions about judgment into a summons to repentance, displays kingdom mercy over legalistic resistance, teaches the hidden growth and narrow entrance of the kingdom, and laments Jerusalem’s refusal to receive him.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

10 One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,

11 and a woman there had been disabled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was hunched over and could not stand up straight.

12 When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said, “Woman, you are set free from your disability.”

13 Then He placed His hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and began to glorify God.

14 But the synagogue leader was indignant that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. “There are six days for work,” he told the crowd. “So come and be healed on those days and not on the Sabbath.”

15 “You hypocrites!” the Lord replied. “Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it to water?

16 Then should not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be released from her bondage on the Sabbath day?”

17 When Jesus said this, all His adversaries were humiliated. And the whole crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things He was doing.
