The Infirm Woman
Students may read Luke 13:10-17
While teaching in the synagogue, Jesus saw a woman who was bent over and couldn’t straighten herself up. Jesus touched and spoke to her. Immediately, she straightened up and was freed from her spirit of infirmity. The ruler of the synagogue objected to this healing on the Sabbath. But Jesus said, “Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it?” Likewise, she should be set free from the infirmity that bound her.
Discussion Questions
What are some possible causes of the woman's condition? When Jesus saw her, he knew what she needed for healing. Sometimes people need to be freed from fear. Jesus said God is a loving father. How does that help us with our fears?
