27th Week After Pentecost v Sunday 



  Ephesians 6:10-17  Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in
the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be
able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against
flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the
rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in
high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye
may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on
the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the
preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of
faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the
wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God:



  Luke 13:10-17  And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the
sabbath. And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity
eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up
herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto
her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. And he laid his hands
on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. 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. 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? 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? 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.
