Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
He laid his hands upon her (epeqhken auth tav xeirav). First aorist active indicative of epitiqhmi. As the Great Physician with gentle kindness.
She was made straight (anwrqwqh). First aorist (effective) passive indicative of anorqow, old verb, but only three times in the N.T. (Luke 13:13; Hebrews 12:12; Acts 15:16), to make straight again. Here it has the literal sense of making straight the old woman's crooked back.
She glorified God (edocazen ton qeon). Imperfect active. Began it (inchoative) and kept it up.
