Acts: Lesson 2/Day 4

Acts Lesson 2/Day 4

Acts 1:6-11

...The Sabbath...

Acts 2:12 says that the disciples had returned from Mt. Olivet to Jerusalem which was a “Sabbath day’s journey away.” What is the Sabbath?

 “The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he abstained from work and rested” (Exodus 31:16–17).

God commanded the Jews to observe a day of rest, and He called it the “Sabbath.” This was observed from sundown on the last day of the Jewish week (our Friday) to sundown the next day (Saturday). Because God commanded no work to be done on this day, the rabbis (Jewish teachers) taught that the distance someone could travel on a Sabbath should be a little less than three-fourths of a mile. Since this happened forty days after Easter, it was a Thursday, not a Sabbath day
