"The Master's Touch"

(Luke 13:10-13)

(Luke 13:10-13 KJV)  And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.  (11)  And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.  (12)  And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.  (13)  And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

Responsive reading: Luke 6:6-10

Luke 6:6-10 ESV  On another Sabbath, he entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.  (7)  And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might find a reason to accuse him.  (8)  But he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come and stand here.” And he rose and stood there.  (9)  And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to destroy it?”  (10)  And after looking around at them all he said to him, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored.
