There is no such thing in Scripture as "the change from Saturday to Sunday Sabbath." There is no such thing in Scripture as a "Sunday Sabbath." Use the search function and look up "Sabbath." |

The seventh day, or Saturday, Sabbath was commanded in the Old Testament, there should be little controversy about that (Exodus 16:26, 20:8). It was a symbol of waiting for the Messiah, a spiritual rest. However, Jesus taught a new kind of Sabbath. He picked grain (Matthew 12:1) and taught that on the Sabbath one should, save sheep, a symbol of God's flock, from a well (Matthew 12:11). He did this despite the Old Testament law which said that a man is to be killed for violating the Sabbath (Numbers 15:32-6). Finally, Matthew 28:1 reads, "And on the eve of the sabbaths, at the dawn, toward the first of the sabbaths, came Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre..." (Young's Literal Translation, the KJV and its paraphrases misinterpreted the passage). This passage shows that there are two groups of Sabbaths, those including the Saturday after Jesus's death, and those including the following Sunday. A similar passage is Mark 16:9 (Be sure to use YLT). Hence, Colossians 2:16, "Let no one, then, judge you in eating or in drinking, or in respect of a feast, or of a new moon, or of sabbaths..." Sometimes the Bible doesn't spit things out plain and simple, you have to study it. |

Hello sandrider While Young's is a literal translation, it lacks depth of nuance. The Greek word "sabbaton" can mean either "sabbath" or "week." That's why Matt 28:1 has "first day of the week." It's not another sabbath but stating the proper translation of "sabbaton." Steve |

However, "sabbaton" is used twice in this passage to refer to "in the end of.." and "to the first of.." This use of the word "sabbaton" twice is repeated in Mark 16:1-2 and Luke 24:1. This makes it more likely that the original authors meant "sabbaton" to mean "Sabbath" twice. | ||||||

Greetings Sandrider! It is well established that the plural form of 'sabbaton' in connection with a number indicates the day of the week. Thus, in Mt. 28:1, the account literally says, "After the Sabbath, on the first of the week...". So, sabbath is used in two different ways in this verse. The first refers to the seventh day Sabbath, while the second refers to the first day of the week. No Greek scholar would say that the text is referring to two different Sabbath days. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Thanks for your input. I just try to explore every possibility fully before rejecting them. I looked around and every reference to "[cardinal number] sabbaton" I looked at is, in fact, in reference to that day of the week. | ||||||
