his hands upon her: and instantly she became erect, and glorified God.
(14)Then the ruler of the synagogue, indignant, that on the sabbath
Jesus had performed the cure, addressing himself to the multitude,
said, There are six days in which work is to be done: on these
therefore come and be cured, and not on the sabbath-day. (15)Then the
Lord answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not every one of you
on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the manger, and lead him to
water? (16)And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom
