While speaking in one of these

synagogues on the Sabbath day,

Jesus saw a woman bent over
with "a spirit of infirmity."

She had been in this
condition for about eighteen

years, and when Jesus saw her,

He had compassion on her.
Calling the woman to Him,

He laid hands on her
and said, "Woman, thou art loosed from thine
infirmity."

Immediately she straightened and she began to
praise God that she was set free from her infirm-
ity.
