And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
The woman had been bent over and bowed down by infirmity for eighteen years. Jesus laid His hands on her. Immediately she was made straight and restored to an upright, healthy and whole condition, a visible and immediate release from her infirmity.
She responded with a grateful heart by glorifying God in praise, giving reason for thanksgiving. Her healing was a manifestation and display of Christ's divine power. Healing power flowed from Him to make the sick well.
Jesus did this healing and comforting of the sick on the Sabbath, willingly and joyfully, as an example of His service that brought comfort and love. This work of mercy was in harmony with the sanctification of the Sabbath. The Sabbath gave Him opportunity to reach people who labored during the week. His healing ministry was so extensive that its works could not be counted. The healing brought joy to the people, but the angry reaction of the rabbis discouraged some who believed from confessing their faith, because they feared being put out of the synagogue and valued human praise above God's.
