14: And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. 15: The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? 16: And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? 17: And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

Jesus always connects the physical with the spiritual. Thus in this acted parable of physical healing of the physical woman, we would expect Jesus to be illustrating spiritual healing of the spiritual woman or Church. Satan was involved in physically binding the woman, so he will be involved in spiritually binding the Church in some way that Jesus is trying to illustrate with his healing. The Ruler of the Synagogue wanted the woman or people to come to the synagogue on one of the six working days to be healed physically, while Jesus wanted the woman to be healed physically on the Sabbath Day. We would expect then, that the Ruler of the Synagogue or the Ruler of the Church will want the people to come to the synagogue or Church on one of the six working days to be healed spiritually while Jesus wants the people to come to Church on the 7^th Day to be healed spiritually. In the previous verses Luke 13:10-13 we learned that Jesus was illustrating with the woman who was bowed over or not straight, that the Church was not straight or was not following God completely. Now in verses 14-16, Jesus is illustrating where the Church is not following God completely. Jesus is warning us that the Church will have a ruler over it in the last days who will want the people to worship (be healed) on a secular weekday (one of the six working days) instead of the holy 7^th Day Sabbath! The fourth commandment (Exodus 20:8-11) of God specifies worship or spiritual healing to be done on the 7^th Day. If the Church worships on any other day the Church will be bowed or bowing to Satan instead of God. People will be committing idolatry because they will be bowing to or worshipping an image or an idol created by man instead of the 7^th Day Sabbath created by God. By this acted parable Jesus is trying to straighten the Church out from its bowed condition caused by Satan.
