Sabbath in the New Testament

( 201 ) Joh 7:23 If a man on the sabbath day "shabbath" receive circumcision , that the law of Moses should not be broken ; are ye angry at me , because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day "shabbath"?

.. .. a man on the sabbath ( ceasing ) ..whole on the sabbath ( ceasing ) ..

( 202 ) Joh 9:14 And it was the sabbath day "shabbath" when Jesus made the clay , and opened his eyes .

.. ceasing ..

( 203 ) Joh 9:16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees , This man is not of God , because he keepeth not the sabbath day "shabbath". Others said , How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles ? And there was a division among them .

.. keepeth not the sabbath ( ceasing ) ..

( 204 ) Joh 19:31 � The Jews therefore , because it was the preparation , that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day "shabbath", (for that sabbath day "shabbath" was an high day ,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken , and that they might be taken away .

.. .. cross on the sabbath ( ceasing ) ..(for that sabbath ( ceasing ) ) ..

( 205 ) Joh 20:1 � The first day of the week "shabbath" cometh Mary Magdalene early , when it was yet dark , unto the sepulchre , and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre .

.. Joh 20:1 � The first day of the ceasing ..

( 206 ) Joh 20:19 � Then the same day at evening , being the first day of the week "shabbath", when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews , came Jesus and stood in the midst , and saith unto them , Peace be unto you .

.. being the first day of the ceasing .. Jesus appears on Saturday night, what Scripture calls Sunday the first day from Sabbath.

( 207 ) Ac 1:12 � Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet , which is from Jerusalem a sabbath "shabbath" day's journey .

.. Jerusalem a ceasing ..

( 208 ) Ac 13:14 � But when they departed from Perga , they came to Antioch in Pisidia , and went into the synagogue on the sabbath "shabbath" day , and sat down .

.. the synagogue on the ceasing .. Notice Sabbath continues into the New Testament times..

( 209 ) Ac 13:27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem , and their rulers , because they knew him not , nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day "shabbath", they have fulfilled them in condemning him.

.. read every sabbath ceasing ..

( 210 ) Ac 13:42 � And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue , the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath "shabbath".

.. them the next ceasing .. The Sabbath is still kept by non-Christian Jews and Chrisitian Jews. Note there were some Gentile Jews who were Christians who also went into synagogues.

( 211 ) Ac 13:44 And the next sabbath day "shabbath" came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God .

.. 13:44 And the next sabbath ceasing .. .. Notice Sabbath continues into the New Testament times..

( 212 ) Ac 15:21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him , being read in the synagogues every sabbath day "shabbath".

.. every sabbath ceasing .. Notice they make mention of Moses preached in all the church synagogue assemblies. These people are Gentile Jews, who become Christian. They are NOT Gentiles who become Christian. The Jews barely tolerated even Jews who become Gentile in customs, let alone pagans who knew nothing of Jewish customs and culture.

Some modern religions claim the Sabbath day attendance was just to witness to Gentiles...why would a Jew like Paul enter a synagogue on Sabbath, if not to convert Jewish-Gentiles coming there also to be Christians Jews like himself. (Since there is a difference between Jews and Hebrews, one should clarify this saying Paul was a Hebrew Christian, and often fought Jews over the torah-teaching regardless circumcision for example. A strict Jew would have seen Paul as Jew defecting over to this new Jesus sect, which we describe as Hebrew Christian.)

( 213 ) Ac 16:13 And on the sabbath "shabbath" we went out of the city by a river side , where prayer was wont to be made ; and we sat down , and spake unto the women which resorted thither.

.. ceasing .. Mention of women keeping Sabbath in the New Testament.

( 214 ) Ac 17:2 And Paul , as his manner was , went in unto them , and three sabbath "shabbath" days reasoned with them out of the scriptures ,

.. and three ceasings ..

( 215 ) Ac 18:4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath "shabbath", and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks .

.. synagogue every ceasing .. Paul is preaching to Jews and Gentile Jews, both of whom when to assemblies each Sabbath.

( 216 ) Ac 20:7 � And upon the first day of the week "shabbath", when the disciples came together to break bread , Paul preached unto them , ready to depart on the morrow ; and continued his speech until midnight .

.. upon the first day of the ceasing .. Paul is preaching on Sabbath and on Saturday night breaks bread. This does not imply having the Lord's Supper, and may mean an ording dinner meal. He continues preaching right through Saturday night, what Scripture calls the first day after Sabbath.

( 217 ) 1Co 16:2 Upon the first day of the week "shabbath" let every one of you lay by him in store , as God hath prospered him , that there be no gatherings when I come .

.. 16:2 Upon the first day of the ceasing .. Paul is asking people to count the offering money after Sabbath on Saturday night, what Scripture calls the first day after Sabbath.
