sabbath day

⁸Remember that you are to sanctify the day of the Sabbath. ⁹For six days, you will work and accomplish all your tasks. ¹⁰But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. You shall not do any work in it: you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, your beast and the newcomer who is within your gates. ¹¹For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and all the things that are in them, and so he rested on the seventh day. For this reason, the Lord has blessed the day of the Sabbath and sanctified it.

¹³If you restrain your foot on the Sabbath, from doing your own will on my holy day, and if you call the Sabbath delightful, and the Holy of the Lord glorious, and if you glorify him, while you do not act according to your own ways, and your own will is not found, not even to speak a word, ¹⁴then you will find delight in the Lord, and I will take you up, above the heights of the earth, and I will nourish you with the inheritance of Jacob, your father. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

¹⁶Therefore, let no one judge you as concerns food or drink, or a particular feast day, or feast days of new moons, or of Sabbaths. ¹⁷For these are a shadow of the future, but the body is of Christ.

³For six days you shall do work; the seventh day, because it is the rest of the Sabbath, shall be called holy. You shall do no work on that day; it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwelling places.

²And on the seventh day, God fulfilled his work, which he had made. And on the seventh day he rested from all his work, which he had accomplished. ³And he blessed the seventh day and sanctified it. For in it, he had ceased from all his work: the work whereby God created whatever he should make.

¹²Observe the day of the Sabbath, so that you may sanctify it, just as the Lord your God has instructed you. ¹³For six days, you shall labor and do all your work. ¹⁴The seventh is the day of the Sabbath, that is, the rest of the Lord your God. You shall not do any work in it, nor shall your son, nor daughter, nor man servant, nor woman servant, nor ox, nor donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor the sojourner who is within your gates, so that your men and woman servants may rest, just as you do. ¹⁵Remember that you also were servants in Egypt, and the Lord your God led you away from that place with a strong hand and an outstretched arm. Because of this, he has instructed you so that you would observe the Sabbath day.

²⁷And he said to them: “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.

²⁷And he said to them: “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. ²⁸And so, the Son of man is Lord, even of the Sabbath.”

¹⁶And he went to Nazareth, where he had been raised. And he entered into the synagogue, according to his custom, on the Sabbath day. And he rose up to read.

⁹And so, there remains a Sabbath of rest for the people of God. ¹⁰For whoever has entered into his rest, the same has also rested from his works, just as God did from his.

¹³“Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: See that you keep my Sabbath. For it is a sign between me and you among your generations, so that you may know that I am the Lord, who sanctifies you. ¹⁴Keep my Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Whoever will have polluted it, shall die a death. Whoever will have done any work in it, his soul shall perish from the midst of his people. ¹⁵For six days you shall do work. On the seventh day, it is the Sabbath, a rest sanctified by the Lord. All who will have done work on this day shall die. ¹⁶Let the sons of Israel keep the Sabbath, and let them celebrate it throughout their generations. It is an everlasting covenant ¹⁷between me and the sons of Israel, and a perpetual sign. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and in the seventh he ceased from work.”

²³And he said to them: “This is what the Lord has spoken: Tomorrow, the rest day of the Sabbath, has been sanctified to the Lord. Whatever would be done, do it now. And whatever would be cooked, cook it now. Then anything that will have been left over, store it until morning.” ²⁴And they did just as Moses had instructed, and it did not putrefy, nor were there any worms found in it. ²⁵And Moses said: “Eat it today, because it is the Sabbath of the Lord. Today it will not be found in the field. ²⁶Gather for six days. But on the seventh day, it is the Sabbath of the Lord, for which reason it will not be found.” ²⁷And the seventh day arrived. And some of the people, going out to collect it, did not find it. ²⁸Then the Lord said to Moses: “How long will you be unwilling to keep my commandments and my law?

¹³Then, on the Sabbath day, we were walking outside the gate, beside a river, where there seemed to be a prayer gathering. And sitting down, we were speaking with the women who had assembled.

¹⁰Now he was teaching in their synagogue on the Sabbaths. ¹¹And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years. And she was bent over; and she was unable to look upwards at all. ¹²And when Jesus saw her, he called her to himself, and he said to her, “Woman, you are released from your infirmity.” ¹³And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was straightened, and she glorified God. ¹⁴Then, as a result, the ruler of the synagogue became angry that Jesus had cured on the Sabbath, and he said to the crowd: “There are six days on which you ought to work. Therefore, come and be cured on those, and not on the day of the Sabbath.” ¹⁵Then the Lord said to him in response: “You hypocrites! Does not each one of you, on the Sabbath, release his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it to water?
