Luke 13:15 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 13:15

13 ^aAnd He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

14 But the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had ^ahealed on the Sabbath; and he said to the crowd, ^b“There are six days on which men ought to work; therefore come and be healed on them, and ^cnot on the Sabbath day.”

15 The Lord then answered him and said,¹ “Hypocrite! ^aDoes not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it?

16 So ought not this woman, ^abeing a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound—think of it—for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?”

17 And when He said these things, all His adversaries were put to shame; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were ^adone by Him.

The Parable of the Mustard Seed

18 ^aThen He said, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it?

19 It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and put in his garden; and it grew and became a¹ large tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”
