    Correct Answer
    A. First
    Explanation
    The New Testament gives us examples of Christians meeting on the first day of the week. This can be seen in the book of Acts, where it is mentioned that the disciples gathered together on the first day of the week to break bread and listen to the apostles' teaching. Additionally, in the book of Corinthians, Paul instructs the believers to set aside their offerings on the first day of the week. These examples indicate that the early Christians considered the first day of the week, which is Sunday, as a significant day for their gatherings and worship.

    Correct Answer
    criticized
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "criticized". If Christians taught that the Sabbath should no longer be observed by Jews, the Jewish leaders would have criticized them for leading Jews away from Moses.

    Correct Answer
    A. Christians in the synagogues
    Explanation
    The curse of the Christians was designed to identify Christians in the synagogues. This suggests that there were Christians who were attending or participating in Jewish synagogues, and the curse was intended to expose them. This could indicate a period of religious tension or conflict between the Jewish and Christian communities, where identifying and separating Christians from the synagogues was important.

    Jesus claimed that He had authority over the Sabbath. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Jesus claimed that He had authority over the Sabbath. This is true because in the Bible, Jesus states that "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath" (Mark 2:27). He also performed miracles on the Sabbath and challenged the religious leaders' strict interpretation of Sabbath laws. Jesus demonstrated that He had the power to interpret and redefine the Sabbath, thus asserting His authority over it.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    This statement is true because according to biblical teachings, Jesus was born and lived during a time when the Sabbath was still observed as a holy day under the old covenant. As a devout Jew, Jesus followed the religious laws and customs of his time, including observing the Sabbath. He did not break the Sabbath because he understood and respected the importance of keeping the Sabbath day holy.
