⁶ The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, he is in your hands;^(A) but you must spare his life.”^(B)

³⁹ A spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him and is destroying him.

¹⁶ Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham,^(A) whom Satan^(B) has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her?”
