Acts 13:14
What is written? (ESV)
but they went on from Perga and came to Antioch in Pisidia. And on the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down.
What does it say?
Arriving in Pisidian Antioch, they went into the synagogue on the Sabbath and sat down.
What is its immediate context?
Paul and Barnabas are on the first missionary journey and as we see throughout Paul’s travels (Acts 17:2), he goes to the local synagogue on the Sabbath (Saturday) in order to teach. He does that here, and they invite them back on the next Sabbath to teach more (vss 42, 44).
How Acts 13:14 is applied across Bible answers
Does it matter when we worship together?
Shows Paul's consistent practice of not worshipping on Saturday, but rather gathering with others (Jews) whom he knew would be gathering for worship (according to the Mosaic Law) in order to have an audience for sharing the gospel.
