Exegesis
The imperfect ēn {ἦν | ê-n} ‘was’ with the participle sygkyptousa {συγκύπτουσα | sug-kyp-toû-sa} ‘being bent over’ forms a periphrastic that stresses ongoing posture.
In context — Luke 13:11
And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years; she was bent over and was not able to straighten up completely .
