Luke 13:10-21

10One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues. 11And behold, there was a woman who had suffered from a spirit of disability for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not stand up completely straight. 12When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are set free from your disability.” 13Then he laid his hands on her, and at once her back was made straight, and she began glorifying God. 14But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the crowd in response, “There are six days in which work should be done; so come and be healed on those days and not on the Sabbath day.” 15Then the Lord answered him, “Hypocrites! Do not each of you on the Sabbath untie your ox or donkey from the manger, lead it away, and give it water? 16Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan has bound for eighteen long years, be released from this bondage on the Sabbath day?” 17When he said this, all his adversaries were put to shame, and the entire crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things that he was doing. 18Then Jesus said, “What is the kingdom of God like? To what should I compare it? 19It is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden. It grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky nested in its branches.” 20Again he said, “To what should I compare the kingdom of God? 21It is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour until it had all been leavened.”
