³¹And he said to them, “Go out alone, into a deserted place, and rest for a little while.” For there were so many who were coming and going, that they did not even have time to eat.

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

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.

¹⁶And he withdrew into the desert and prayed.

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.

²⁸Come to me, all you who labor and have been burdened, and I will refresh you. ²⁹Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you shall find rest for your souls. ³⁰For my yoke is sweet and my burden is light.”

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.

¹A Psalm of David. The Lord directs me, and nothing will be lacking to me. ²He has settled me here, in a place of pasture. He has led me out to the water of refreshment. ³He has converted my soul. He has led me away on the paths of justice, for the sake of his name.

³⁰And the Apostles, returning to Jesus, reported to him everything that they had done and taught. ³¹And he said to them, “Go out alone, into a deserted place, and rest for a little while.” For there were so many who were coming and going, that they did not even have time to eat. ³²And climbing into a boat, they went away to a deserted place alone.

²It is in vain that you rise before daylight, that you rise up after you have sat down, you who chew the bread of sorrow. Whereas, to his beloved, he will give sleep.

¹⁵For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: If you return and are quiet, you shall be saved. Your strength will be found in silence and in hope. But you are not willing!

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. ¹¹Therefore, let us hasten to enter into that rest, so that no one may fall into the same example of unbelief.

¹³When Jesus had heard it, he withdrew from there by boat, to a deserted place by himself. And when the crowds had heard of it, they followed him on foot from the cities.

¹³For this is a gift from God: when each man eats and drinks, and sees the good results of his labor.

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.

⁷And I said, “Who will give me wings like the dove, so that I may fly away and take rest?” ⁸Behold, I have fled far away, and I linger in solitude. ⁹I waited for him who saved me from a weak-minded spirit and from a tempest.

¹⁴And the Lord said, “My face will precede you, and I will give you rest.”

²¹For six days you shall work. On the seventh day you shall cease to cultivate and to harvest.
