Exegesis
The phrase apo tou desmou toutou {ἀπὸ τοῦ δεσμοῦ τούτου | a-pò toû des-moû toú-tu} ‘from this bond’ defines the sphere of liberation, while the dative temporal phrase te hemera tou sabbatou {τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ σαββάτου | tēi hē-mé-rai toû sab-bá-tou} ‘on the day of the Sabbath’ situates the action within the context of holy rest and compassion. Together, these syntactic elements juxtapose satanic oppression with the rightful exercise of mercy on the Sabbath.
In context — Luke 13:16
And this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan bound—behold, for eighteen years—should she not be released from this bond on the Sabbath ?
