Jeremiah 17:21-27

21Thus says the Lord: Take care for the sake of your lives, and ado not bear a burden on the Sabbath day or bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem. 22And do not carry a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath bor do any work, but ckeep the Sabbath day holy, as I commanded your fathers. 23Yet dthey did not listen or incline their ear, ebut stiffened their neck, that they fmight not hear and receive instruction.

24“‘But if you listen to me, declares the Lord, and gbring in no burden by the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but hkeep the Sabbath day holy and do no work on it, 25then ithere shall enter by the gates of this city kings and princes who sit on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their officials, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And this city shall be inhabited forever. 26And people shall come from jthe cities of Judah kand the places around Jerusalem, lfrom the land of Benjamin, mfrom the Shephelah, from the hill country, nand from othe Negeb, bringing pburnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and frankincense, and qbringing thank offerings to the house of the Lord. 27But if you do not listen to me, to rkeep the Sabbath day holy, sand not to bear a burden and enter by the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will tkindle a fire in its gates, and it shall udevour the palaces of Jerusalem and vshall not be quenched.’”

Ezekiel 20:12

12Moreover, I gave them wmy Sabbaths, as a sign between me and them, xthat they might know that I am the Lord who sanctifies them.

Mark 2:27

27And he said to them, y“The Sabbath was made for man, znot man for the Sabbath.

Luke 23:56

56Then they returned and aaprepared spices and ointments.

On the Sabbath they rested abaccording to the commandment.

Hebrews 4:4-10

4For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way: acAnd God rested on the seventh day from all his works.” 5And again in this passage he said,

ad“They shall not enter my rest.”
6Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news aefailed to enter because of disobedience, 7again he appoints a certain day, “Today,” saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted,

afToday, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.”
8For if Joshua had given them rest, God
Greek he
would not have spoken of another day later on.
9So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, 10for whoever has entered God’s rest has also ahrested from his works as God did from his.
