Having a bond from Satan could come from having a demon

There is one account in the Bible describing someone who was bound by Satan and who needed to be released from this bond. The same person would have been described as having a demon.

Biblical evidence

It is written "(there was a) woman HAVING (a) spirit (of) infirmity eighteen years" (Luke 13:11). This woman was "HAVING" (Luke 13:11) a demon. Indeed, 3 chapters earlier the expression "demon" can be used interchangeably with the expression "spirit" (Luke 10:17 & Luke 10:20), and so here "HAVING (a) spirit (of) infirmity" (Luke 13:11) would have been the same as describing her as "HAVING" a demon. This demon would have been a spirit "(of) infirmity" (Luke 13:11) as demons can be described as spirits with adjectives of what they do (in this case the spirit would have given the woman an infirmity).

Spirits can be described with adjectives (of what they do)

About the same woman "HAVING (a) spirit (of) infirmity eighteen years" (Luke 13:11), Jesus said: "this (one), being (a) daughter (of) Abraham whom Satan bound (for) behold, ten and eight years — ought (she) not to-have-been-released from this bond (on) the day (of) the Sabbath?" (Luke 13:16). 

In this account, the woman was described as having been bound by Satan, and "to-have-been-released from this bond" (Luke 13:16). What was the bond that the woman was released from? Her infirmity. Indeed 4 verses earlier Jesus said to her: "Woman, you have-been-released (from) your infirmity" (Luke 13:12). 

This bond came from Satan, as it is described that "Satan bound" (Luke 13:16) her. This bond from Satan, the woman's infirmity, came from "HAVING (a) spirit (of) infirmity" (Luke 13:11). This is further evidence that here "HAVING (a) spirit (of) infirmity" (Luke 13:11) would have been the same as describing her as "HAVING" a demon. This is significant because "HAVING" a demon can mean that a demon entered (and can later come out).

"Having" demons can mean that demons entered (and can later come out)

The infirmity of the woman was that "she-was bending-over" (Luke 13:11). The reason why she would have been described as being "bound" (Luke 13:16) by Satan would have been that she was "not being-able to-bend-up to the very-end" (Luke 13:11). In that sense, Satan bound that woman as she did not have the ability anymore to bend up again completely. After that the woman was released from this bond, it was described that "at-once she-was-made-straight" (Luke 13:13). 

If it can be inferred that this woman was "HAVING" a demon, and if it can be inferred that "HAVING" a demon can mean that a demon entered (and can later come out), then when that woman was released from her infirmity it could also be inferred that the demon would have also come out at that time as well. There are accounts in the Bible in which when a demon came out of a person that person was also healed from a sort of disability that they had. 

Furthermore it is described about Jesus that "He-laid (His) hands on her. And at-once she-was-made-straight" (Luke 13:13). In the only other account in Luke in which Jesus was recorded to explicitly lay His hands on people, demons were also described as coming out from many, as it is written 9 chapters earlier: "all who were-having (ones) being-sick (with) various diseases brought them to Him. And the (One), laying (His) hands on each one (of) them, was-curing them. And demons also WERE-COMING-OUT from many" (Luke 4:40-41). There is no explicit description within Luke 13 that a "demon came out" from the woman, but there are several accounts in the Bible that are not describing explicitly that a demon came out from someone or even describing any manifestation after a demon came out of someone, so it would not be impossible that it could also be the case here.
