Luke 13:16 explains that this woman was bound by Satan for 18 years — revealing the spiritual bondage behind the physical healing declared in verse 12.

Luke 6:8-10 describes another Sabbath healing where Jesus restores a man's hand — showing the same pattern of compassionate healing despite legalistic objections.

Matthew 8:16 shows Jesus healing many with a word — the same authority displayed here when he declares the woman freed.

Psalm 107:20 says God sent his word and healed — Jesus' spoken word here echoes that divine healing power.
