167:3.1 [[Abner]] had arranged for [[the Master]] to [[teach]] in the [[synagogue]] on this [[Sabbath]] day, the first time [[Jesus]] had [[appeared]] in a [[synagogue]] since they had all been closed to his [[teachings]] by order of the [[Sanhedrin]]. At the conclusion of the service [[Jesus]] looked down before him upon an [[elder]]ly [[woman]] who wore a [[downcast]] [[expression]], and who was much bent in [[form]]. This [[woman]] had long been [[fear]]-ridden, and all [[joy]] had passed out of her life. As [[Jesus]] stepped down from the [[pulpit]], he went over to her and, [[touching]] her bowed-over form on the shoulder, said: " Woman, if you would only [[believe]], you could be wholly loosed from your [[spirit]] of infirmity. " And this [[woman]], who had been bowed down and bound up by the [[depression]]s of [[fear]] for more than eighteen years, believed the [[words]] of [[the Master]] and by [[faith]] straightened up [[immediately]]. When this [[woman]] saw that she had been made straight, she lifted up her [[voice]] and [[glorified]] [[God]].[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_13]

167:3.2 Notwithstanding that this [[woman]]'s [[affliction]] was wholly [[mental]], her bowed-over form being the result of her [[depressed]] [[mind]], the people [[thought]] that [[Jesus]] had [[healed]] a real [[physical]] disorder. Although the congregation of the [[synagogue]] at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ala%C5%9Fehir Philadelphia] was [[friendly]] toward the teachings of [[Jesus]], the chief ruler of the [[synagogue]] was an unfriendly [[Pharisee]]. And as he [[shared]] the [[opinion]] of the congregation that [[Jesus]] had [[healed]] a [[physical]] disorder, and being [[indignant]] because [[Jesus]] had presumed to do such a thing on the [[Sabbath]], he stood up before the congregation and said: " Are there not six days in which men should do all their [[work]]? In these working days come, therefore, and be [[healed]], but not on the [[Sabbath]] day. "[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_13]

167:3.3 When the unfriendly ruler had thus [[spoken]], Jesus returned to the [[Pulpit|speaker's platform]] and said: " Why play the part of [[hypocrites]]? Does not every one of you, on the [[Sabbath]], loose his ox from the stall and lead him forth for [[water]]ing? If such a [[service]] is [[permissible]] on the [[Sabbath]] day, should not this [[woman]], a daughter of [[Abraham]] who has been bound down by [[evil]] these eighteen years, be loosed from this [[bondage]] and led forth to partake of the waters of [[liberty]] and life, even on this [[Sabbath]] day? " And as the woman continued to [[glorify]] [[God]], his [[critic]] was put to [[shame]], and the congregation [[rejoiced]] with her that she had been [[healed]].

167:3.5 [[Jesus]] frequently delivered such [[victims]] of [[fear]] from their spirit of infirmity, from their [[depression]] of [[mind]], and from their [[bondage]] of [[fear]]. But [[the people]] [[thought]] that all such [[afflictions]] were either [[physical]] disorders or [[possession of evil spirits]].

167:3.6 [[Jesus]] taught again in the [[synagogue]] on Sunday, and many were [[baptized]] by [[Abner]] at noon on that day in the [[river]] which [[flowed]] south of the [[city]]. On the morrow [[Jesus]] and the [[ten]] [[apostles]] would have started back to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pella,_Jordan Pella] encampment but for the arrival of one of [[David Zebedee|David]]'s [[messengers]], who brought an urgent message to [[Jesus]] from his [[friends]] at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethany_(Biblical_village) Bethany], near [[Jerusalem]].
