Jesus heals the woman in the synagogue

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 13:10-17.

Jesus was teaching in a synagogue on the sabbath.
And a woman was there who for eighteen years had been crippled by a spirit; she was bent over, completely incapable of standing erect.
When Jesus saw her, he called to her and said, "Woman, you are set free of your infirmity."
He laid his hands on her, and she at once stood up straight and glorified God.
But the leader of the synagogue, indignant that Jesus had cured on the sabbath, said to the crowd in reply, "There are six days when work should be done. Come on those days to be cured, not on the sabbath day."
The Lord said to him in reply, "Hypocrites! Does not each one of you on the sabbath untie his ox or his ass from the manger and lead it out for watering?
This daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for eighteen years now, ought she not to have been set free on the sabbath day from this bondage?"
When he said this, all his adversaries were humiliated; and the whole crowd rejoiced at all the splendid deeds done by him.

Do not weep

Luke 7:11-17

Jesus journeyed to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd accompanied him. 
As he drew near to the gate of the city, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. A large crowd from the city was with her. 
When the Lord saw her, he was moved with pity for her and said to her, "Do not weep." 
He stepped forward and touched the coffin; at this the bearers halted, and he said, "Young man, I tell you, arise!" 
The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother. 
Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, exclaiming, "A great prophet has arisen in our midst," and "God has visited his people." 
This report about him spread through the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.
