So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders
began to persecute him. In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.” (John 5: 16-17)
How do you spend your Sundays? Hopefully you are working on this day off, but not “laboring” which often implies strenuous physical work. My dictionary takes a half page (in small print) to define “work” and includes purposeful activity, acts or deeds (a person of good works), works in art, moral actions (those regarded as just, merciful, effectual, etc), to acquire knowledge or skill at, for example. Sunday work, for most of us a day we can use as we chose, has many meanings.
