13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
13 Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God.
13 And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and she glorified God.
13 He laid hands on her and suddenly she was standing straight and tall, giving glory to God.
13 And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
13 Then he touched her, and instantly she could stand straight. How she praised God!
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 13:13
Commentary on Luke 13:10-17
(Read Luke 13:10-17)
Our Lord Jesus attended upon public worship on the sabbaths. Even bodily infirmities, unless very grievous, should not keep us from public worship on sabbath days. This woman came to Christ to be taught, and to get good to her soul, and then he relieved her bodily infirmity. This cure represents the work of Christ's grace upon the soul. And when crooked souls are made straight, they will show it by glorifying God. Christ knew that this ruler had a real enmity to him and to his gospel, and that he did but cloak it with a pretended zeal for the sabbath day; he really would not have them be healed any day; but if Jesus speaks the word, and puts forth his healing power, sinners are set free. This deliverance is often wrought on the Lord's day; and whatever labour tends to put men in the way of receiving the blessing, agrees with the design of that day.
