¹² Moreover I also gave them My ^(A)Sabbaths, to be a sign between them and Me, that they might know that I am the Lord who sanctifies them.

⁵⁶ Then they returned and ^(A)prepared spices and fragrant oils. And they rested on the Sabbath ^(B)according to the commandment.

¹⁴ But the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had ^(A)healed on the Sabbath; and he said to the crowd, ^(B)“There are six days on which men ought to work; therefore come and be healed on them, and ^(C)not on the Sabbath day.”

¹⁵ The Lord then answered him and said, ^[a]“Hypocrite! ^(D)Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it? ¹⁶ So ought not this woman, ^(E)being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound—think of it—for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?”

² Work shall be done for ^(A)six days, but the seventh day shall be a holy day for you, a Sabbath of rest to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to ^(B)death. ^3 (C)You shall kindle no fire throughout your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”

^12 (A)Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female servant and the stranger may be refreshed.
