- 10 Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.
- 11 And behold, there was a woman who had had a disabling spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not fully straighten herself.
- 12 When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your disability.”
- 13 And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and she glorified God.
- Call To Worship – Psalm 1:1-6 ESV
- 1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
- 2 but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.
- 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.
- 4 The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
- 5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
- 6 for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

- 1 Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.
- 2 And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple.
- 3 Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive alms.
- 4 And Peter directed his gaze at him, as did John, and said, “Look at us.”
- 5 And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them.
- 6 But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!”
- 7 And he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong.
- 8 And leaping up, he stood and began to walk, and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.
- 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God,
- 10 and recognized him as the one who sat at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, asking for alms. And they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
