Luke 13:13-14

13:13 Then ¹  he placed his hands on her, and immediately ²  she straightened up and praised God. 13:14 But the president of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the crowd, “There are six days on which work ³  should be done! ⁴  So come ⁵  and be healed on those days, and not on the Sabbath day.”

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

² sn The healing took place immediately.

³ sn The irony is that Jesus’ “work” consisted of merely touching the woman. There is no sense of joy that eighteen years of suffering was reversed with his touch.

⁴ tn Grk “on which it is necessary to work.” This has been simplified in the translation.

⁵ tn The participle ἐρχόμενοι (ercomenoi) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
