Sunday in the New Testament

Walter F. Specht

Abstract

Many Christians honestly believe that Jesus and/or His apostles changed the day of rest from the seventh-day Sabbath to the fi rst day of the week, i.e., Sunday. Hence, aft er examining the passages where the term “Sabbath” occurs in the Gospels and Acts, fairness demands that notice also be taken of the passages in the New Testament that speak of the fi rst day of the week. Obviously the designation “Sunday” is not used in the New Testament. Rather, the days are designated by number aft er the manner of Judaism.
