  • A woman Bent Over Double
  • Luke 13:10-11
    • And He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. And there was a woman who for eighteen years had had a sickness caused by a spirit; and she was bent double, and could not straighten up at all.
  • Pressed to the Ground
  • Jesus Frees the Woman
    • 12When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your sickness."
    • 13And He laid His hands on her; and immediately she was made erect again and began glorifying God
  • Synogogue Ruler Indignant
    • 14But the synagogue official, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, began saying to the crowd in response, "There are six days in which work should be done; so come during them and get healed, and not on the Sabbath day."
  • Authoritative Reprimand
  • Jesus Points Out Hypocrisy
    • 15But the Lord answered him and said, "You hypocrites, does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the stall and lead him away to water him?
    • 16"And this woman, a daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan has bound for eighteen long years, should she not have been released from this bond on the Sabbath day
  • Opponents Put to Shame
    • 17As He said this, all His opponents were being humiliated; and the entire crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things being done by Him.
  • The Crowd Rejoicing
  • The Kingdom of God
    • 18 So He was saying, "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 threw into his own garden; and it grew and became a tree, and (THE BIRDS OF THE AIR NESTED IN ITS BRANCHES."
  • Mustard Trees
  • The Kingdom of God
    • 20And again He said, "To what shall I compare the kingdom of God?
    • 21"It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three pecks of flour until it was all leavened."
  • Leaven Put in Meal
  • Entering the Kingdom of God
    • 22And He was passing through from one city and village to another, teaching, and proceeding on His way to Jerusalem. 23And someone said to Him, "Lord, are there just a few who are being saved?" And He said to them,
    • 24"Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.
    • 25"Once the head of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door, saying, 'Lord, open up to us!' then He will answer and say to you, 'I do not know where you are from.'
  • The Master Shuts the Door
  • Pleading Does Not Help
    • 26"Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets';
    • 27and He will say, 'I tell you, I do not know where you are from; DEPART FROM ME, ALL YOU EVILDOERS.'
  • Go Away Workers of Unrighteousness
  • A Place of Shame
    • 28"In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves being thrown out.
  • Weeping and Gnashing of Teeth
  • The First Last, the Last First
    • 29"And they will come from east and west and from north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God.
    • 30"And behold, some are last who will be first and some are first who will be last."
