When Jesus saw her, he said to 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. 14. And the Ruler of the Synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days, in which men ought to work, in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day. 15. The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each of you on the Sabbath loose his Ox and his Ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? 16.

And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed; and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
