Spirit of infirmity
A spirit which caused infirmity. An evil demon, see Luk 13:16, though it is not certain that it was a case of possession. The details of the disease, and the noting of the time of its continuance, are characteristic of a physician's narrative.
Bowed together (συγκύπτουσα)
Only here in New Testament.
Lift herself up (ἀνακύψαι)
Only here in New Testament, unless Joh 8:7-10 be accepted as genuine. Used by Galen of strengthening the vertebrae of the spine.
