'On the Sabbath' in the Bible

At that time Jesus went on the sabbath thro' the corn, and his disciples were hungry, and plucked the ears of corn and ate.

But the Pharisees seeing it said to him, Behold thy disciples do what it is not lawful to do on the sabbath.

Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath-days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath and are blameless?

And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? that they might accuse him.

And he said to them, What man is there among you, that shall have one sheep, who if it fall into a pit on the sabbath, will not lay hold on it and lift it out?

How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath-day.

And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath.
