Throughout the Book of Luke and the other Gospels we often see Jesus giving the right perspective on a matter. God's perspective. In today's passage we have another account of Jesus healing on the Sabbath while teaching in the synagogue. The recipient of His healing is a woman who had a sickness which had caused her to be "bent double" for eighteen years. The text says that this particular "sickness" was caused by a spirit. We read that Jesus said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your sickness" and then He laid His hands on her and she was immediately made erect again. The synagogue official is described as being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. The official then speaks to the crowd of people in the synagogue, telling them that they should come to be healed on any other day, but not the Sabbath. Jesus then appears to address the synagogue official and all those who may be of the same mind as he was. He calls them hypocrites. He challenges their thinking by reminding them that each of them unties their ox or donkey from their stall and leads them to water and that they do so even on the Sabbath. Putting things into their proper perspective, He asks them if this woman, "a daughter of Abraham" should not have been released from her bond on the Sabbath day. We read that those who were in opposition to His teaching were humiliated. They would untie their animals on the Sabbath and lead them to water but they would stand opposed to Jesus releasing or "untying" this woman and leading her to Himself, the giver of living water.
