9. Then if it should bear fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.’”
10. Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.
11. And behold, there was a woman who had had a disabling spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not fully straighten herself.
12. When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your disability.”
