And behold, there was a woman with a disabling spirit for eighteen years, bent over and completely unable to stand up straight. 12When Yeshua saw her, He called out to her and said, “Woman, you are set free from your disability.” 13Then He laid hands on her, and instantly she stood up straight and began praising God.
