did Jesus go to church on sabbath?

Answer 1

Yes, there are 7 verses that say Jesus went to church on the Sabbath.(below)

"He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read." Luke 4:16

"Going on from that place, he went into their synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, they asked him, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?" Matthew 12:9,10

"They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach." Mark 1:21

"When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed." Mark 6:2

"He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read." Luke 4:16

"Then he went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath began to teach the people." Luke 4:31

"On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues" Luke 13:10




There is another issue to deal with, SUNday worship. The early church did not meet on SUNday they met on the Sabbath(Saturday) both Jews AND Gentiles.
Acts 13:14
Acts 13:42
Acts 13:44
Acts 16:13
Acts 17:1-4
Acts 18

Many people claim Acts 20:7 describes a new day of worship because it says they "broke bread, but if you read Acts 2:46 you see they broke bread everyday. Breaking bread means eating not communion.

There is no evidence of SUNday worship in the Bible



It is popular to go to church on SUNday even though it is not Biblical. Jesus' teachings were not popular. A Christian is a follower of Christ... Follow Jesus

Answer 2

Synagogue... and for those saying that is somehow different from church, synagogue is a transliteration of the word in the Greek New Testament. That SAME GREEK WORD is used in James 2:2, here translated "meeting," other versions render it assembly or church.

Jas 2:2 Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes. And suppose a poor man in worn-out clothes also comes in.

Clearly, this is discussing an assembly of Christians, but at the early writing of James, around 45AD, ekklesia, the word commonly translated "church" may not have been in common use. The 2 are basically synonyms.

Obadya.... The early church met on Sunday.
Acts 20:7 On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Paul spoke to the people and, because he intended to leave the next day, kept on talking until midnight. (The Jews defined a day as beginning at sunset, we would call their assembly time Saturday evening.)

"break bread" = communion or "the Lord's Supper." The word break is klasai, the INFINITIVE of klao. This tells us the purpose of their assembly was "breaking bread." The early church met and took communion every Sunday, not only occasionally as many do today.
"But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Saviour on the same day rose from the dead." - Justin Martyr, 156 AD

kendal - Justin Martyr predates the supposed "supremacy of the Roman church" by OVER 100 YEARS... TRY THAT ONE AGAIN.

Answer 3

Jesus WAS church on the sabbath.

Answer 4

Jesus came under the law and He kept the law. He went to the Jewish Temple not to church. MaGalatians 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, Matthew 21:12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

Answer 5

Yes he did. He kept the whole law.

Joh 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

The sunday sabbath that is observed today has no scriptural authority, and was brought about by the Roman Church.

Answer 6

Yes... Luke 4:16 states: "So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read."

Answer 7

There are several references where Jesus went to the synagogue. (He was, after all, Jewish, so there was no "church" to go to per se) See Luke 2:21-40, Luke 4: 14-21.

Answer 8

Jesus went to the Temple on Saturday. He was Jewish. He did not make up the Christian Church. He taught in Jewish Temples. Some of you really need to read your bibles like you tell all of us non Christians to do.

Answer 9

Yes, but then Jesus is not the Name of the REAL HEBREW MESSIAH!
The REAL MESSIAH WHOSE NAME IS YAHSHUA kept all His Fathers Laws and worshiped on the Sabbath.
Everyone that believe Him still keep the Sabbath.
And no Church goer knows Yahshua.
