'On the Sabbath' in the Bible

He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. As usual, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath day and stood up to read.

Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbath.

But some of the Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?”

The scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely, to see if He would heal on the Sabbath, so that they could find a charge against Him.

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

As He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath,

But the leader of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, responded by telling the crowd, “There are six days when work should be done; therefore come on those days and be healed and not on the Sabbath day.”

But the Lord answered him and said, “Hypocrites! Doesn’t each one of you untie his ox or donkey from the feeding trough on the Sabbath and lead it to water?

Satan has bound this woman, a daughter of Abraham, for 18 years—shouldn’t she be untied from this bondage on the Sabbath day?”

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

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

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