Luke 13:14

Context
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 1  should be done! 2  So come 3  and be healed on those days, and not on the Sabbath day.”

1 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.

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

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