Leviticus 7:11-21 and Luke 13:10-17 (NLT)

Leviticus 7:11-21
The Fellowship Offering
11 “These are the instructions regarding the different kinds of peace offerings that may be presented to the Lord.
12  If you present your peace offering as an expression of thanksgiving, the usual animal sacrifice must be accompanied by various kinds of bread made without yeast—thin cakes mixed with olive oil, wafers spread with oil, and cakes made of choice flour mixed with olive oil.
13  This peace offering of thanksgiving must also be accompanied by loaves of bread made with yeast.
14  One of each kind of bread must be presented as a gift to the Lord. It will then belong to the priest who splatters the blood of the peace offering against the altar.
15  The meat of the peace offering of thanksgiving must be eaten on the same day it is offered. None of it may be saved for the next morning.
16  “If you bring an offering to fulfill a vow or as a voluntary offering, the meat must be eaten on the same day the sacrifice is offered, but whatever is left over may be eaten on the second day.
17  Any meat left over until the third day must be completely burned up.
18  If any of the meat from the peace offering is eaten on the third day, the person who presented it will not be accepted by the Lord. You will receive no credit for offering it. By then the meat will be contaminated; if you eat it, you will be punished for your sin.
19  “Meat that touches anything ceremonially unclean may not be eaten; it must be completely burned up. The rest of the meat may be eaten, but only by people who are ceremonially clean.
20  If you are ceremonially unclean and you eat meat from a peace offering that was presented to the Lord, you will be cut off from the community.
21  If you touch anything that is unclean (whether it is human defilement or an unclean animal or any other unclean, detestable thing) and then eat meat from a peace offering presented to the Lord, you will be cut off from the community.”
Luke 13:10-17
A Crippled Woman Healed on the Sabbath
10  One Sabbath day as Jesus was teaching in a synagogue,
11  he saw a woman who had been crippled by an evil spirit. She had been bent double for eighteen years and was unable to stand up straight.
12  When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, “Dear woman, you are healed of your sickness!” 
13  Then he touched her, and instantly she could stand straight. How she praised God!
14   But the leader in charge of the synagogue was indignant that Jesus had healed her on the Sabbath day. “There are six days of the week for working,” he said to the crowd. “Come on those days to be healed, not on the Sabbath.”
15  But the Lord replied, “You hypocrites! Each of you works on the Sabbath day! Don’t you untie your ox or your donkey from its stall on the Sabbath and lead it out for water? 
16  This dear woman, a daughter of Abraham, has been held in bondage by Satan for eighteen years. Isn’t it right that she be released, even on the Sabbath?”
17  This shamed his enemies, but all the people rejoiced at the wonderful things he did.
