Sabbath

Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”

One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,

But the synagogue leader was indignant that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. “There are six days for work,” he told the crowd. “So come and be healed on those days and not on the Sabbath.”

“You hypocrites!” the Lord replied. “Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it to water?

Then should not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be released from her bondage on the Sabbath day?”

One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

And He asked them, “Which of you whose son or ox falls into a pit on the Sabbath day will not immediately pull him out?”

It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.

Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day,

…so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”

Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.

Because of this, the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him. Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

But because Moses gave you circumcision, you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath (not that it is from Moses, but from the patriarchs.)

If a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses will not be broken, why are you angry with Me for making the whole man well on the Sabbath?

Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened his eyes was a Sabbath.

Because of this, some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was division among them.

It was the day of Preparation, and the next day was a High Sabbath. In order that the bodies would not remain on the cross during the Sabbath, the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies removed.

Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is near the city, a Sabbath day’s journey away.

And from Perga, they traveled inland to Pisidian Antioch, where they entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and sat down.

The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning Him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath.

As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people urged them to continue this message on the next Sabbath.

On the following Sabbath, nearly the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.

For Moses has been proclaimed in every city from ancient times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.”

On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate along the river, where it was customary to find a place of prayer. After sitting down, we spoke to the women who had gathered there.

Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks alike.

Therefore let no one judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a feast, a New Moon, or a Sabbath.

There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
