'On the Sabbath' in the Bible

About that time Jesus passed on the Sabbath through the wheatfields; and His disciples became hungry, and began to gather ears of wheat and eat them.

But the Pharisees saw it and said to Him, "Look! your disciples are doing what the Law forbids them to do on the Sabbath."

And have you not read in the Law how on the Sabbath the priests in the Temple break the Sabbath without incurring guilt?

where there was a man with a shrivelled arm. And they questioned Him, "Is it right to cure people on the Sabbath?" Their intention was to bring a charge against Him.

"Which of you is there," He replied, "who, if he has but a single sheep and it falls into a hole on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out?

Is not a man, however, far superior to a sheep? Therefore it is right to do good on the Sabbath."

So the Pharisees said to Him, "Look! why are they doing what on the Sabbath is unlawful?"

They closely watched Him to see whether He would cure him on the Sabbath--so as to have a charge to bring against Him.

Then He asked them, "Are we allowed to do good on the Sabbath, or to do evil? to save a life, or to destroy one?" They remained silent.

On the Sabbath He proceeded to teach in the synagogue; and many, as they heard Him, were astonished. "Where did he acquire all this?" they asked. "What is this wisdom that has been given to him? And what are these marvellous miracles which his hands perform?

He came to Nazareth also, where He had been brought up; and, as was His custom, He went to the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read.

So He came down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, where He frequently taught the people on the Sabbath days.

And some of the Pharisees asked, "Why are you doing what the Law forbids on the Sabbath?"

The Scribes and the Pharisees were on the watch to see whether He would cure him on the Sabbath that they might be able to bring an accusation against Him.

Then Jesus said to them, "I put it to you all whether we are allowed to do good on the Sabbath, or to do evil; to save a life, or to destroy it."

Once He was teaching on the Sabbath in one of the synagogues

Then the Warden of the Synagogue, indignant that Jesus had cured her on a Sabbath, said to the crowd, "There are six days in the week on which people ought to work. On those days therefore come and get yourselves cured, and not on the Sabbath day."

But the Lord's reply to him was, "Hypocrites, does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his bullock or his ass from the stall and lead him to water?

This led Jesus to ask the lawyers and Pharisees, "Is it allowable to cure people on the Sabbath?"

Then He turned to them and said, "Which of you shall have a child or an ox fall into a well on the Sabbath day, and will not immediately lift him out?"

Then they returned, and prepared spices and perfumes. On the Sabbath they rested in obedience to the Commandment.

and on this account the Jews began to persecute Jesus--because He did these things on the Sabbath.

But they themselves, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch in Pisidia. Here, on the Sabbath day, they went into the synagogue and sat down.

On the Sabbath we went beyond the city gate to the riverside, where we had reason to believe that there was a place for prayer; and sitting down we talked with the women who had come together.
