Exodus 20:8-11
Christian Standard Bible
8 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy:(A) 9 You are to labor six days and do all your work,(B) 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. You must not do any work—you, your son or daughter, your male or female servant, your livestock, or the resident alien who is within your city gates.(C) 11 For the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and everything in them in six days; then he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and declared it holy.

Psalm 92
God’s Love and Faithfulness
A psalm. A song for the Sabbath day.
1 It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praise to your name, Most High,(A)
2 to declare your faithful love in the morning
and your faithfulness at night,(B)
3 with a ten-stringed harp[a]
and the music of a lyre.(C)
4 For you have made me rejoice, Lord,
by what you have done;
I will shout for joy
because of the works of your hands.(D)
5 How magnificent are your works, Lord,
how profound your thoughts!(E)
6 A stupid person does not know,
a fool does not understand this:(F)
7 though the wicked sprout like grass(G)
and all evildoers flourish,
they will be eternally destroyed.(H)
8 But you, Lord, are exalted forever.(I)
9 For indeed, Lord, your enemies—
indeed, your enemies will perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.(J)
10 You have lifted up my horn(K)
like that of a wild ox;
I have been anointed[b] with the finest oil.(L)
11 My eyes look at my enemies;
when evildoers rise against me,
my ears hear them.(M)
12 The righteous thrive like a palm tree
and grow like a cedar tree in Lebanon.(N)
13 Planted in the house of the Lord,
they thrive in the courts of our God.(O)
14 They will still bear fruit in old age,
healthy and green,(P)
15 to declare, “The Lord is just;
he is my rock,
and there is no unrighteousness in him.”(Q)
Isaiah 58:13-14
Christian Standard Bible
13 “If you keep from desecrating the Sabbath,(A)
from doing whatever you want on my holy day;
if you call the Sabbath a delight,
and the holy day of the Lord honorable;
if you honor it, not going your own ways,(B)
seeking your own pleasure, or talking business;[a][b]
14 then you will delight in the Lord,(C)
and I will make you ride over the heights of the land,(D)
and let you enjoy the heritage of your father Jacob.”
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.(E)
Mark 2:23-28
Christian Standard Bible
Lord of the Sabbath
23 On(A) the Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and his disciples(B) began to make their way, picking some heads of grain. 24 The Pharisees(C) said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful(D) on the Sabbath?”
25 He said to them, “Have you never read what David(E) and those who were with him did when he was in need(F) and hungry(G) — 26 how he entered the house of God in the time of Abiathar(H) the high priest(I) and ate the bread of the Presence(J) —which is not lawful for anyone to eat except the priests(K) —and also gave some to his companions?” 27 Then he told them, “The Sabbath was made for[a] man and not man for the Sabbath.(L) 28 So then, the Son of Man(M) is Lord(N) even of the Sabbath.”(O)

The Promised Rest
4 Therefore, since the promise to enter his rest remains, let us beware[a] that none of you be found to have fallen short.[b] 2 For we also have received the good news just as they did. But the message they heard did not benefit them, since they were not united with those who heard it in faith.[c](A) 3 For we who have believed enter the rest, in keeping with what[d] he has said,
even though his works have been finished since the foundation of the world. 4 For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in this way: And on the seventh day God rested from all his works.[f](C) 5 Again, in that passage he says, They will never enter my rest.[g] 6 Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news did not enter because of disobedience,(D) 7 he again specifies a certain day—today. He specified this speaking through David after such a long time:
8 For if Joshua(F) had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9 Therefore, a Sabbath rest remains for God’s people. 10 For the person who has entered his rest has rested from his own works, just as God did from his.(G) 11 Let us, then, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall into the same pattern of disobedience.
