Traditionally, it was Saturday for Jews. But how do you really know whether it's Sunday OR Saturday??? Plus, days of the week are man-made anyway. I just think the Sabbath day is just A DAY of worship and rest, which could be designated on ANY day of the week. JMO.
For those who know about the Sabbath Day, please point out the scripture to me that says the Sabbath Day is on Saturday or Sunday.
Genesis 2: 2,3: ' And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had made; and rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made. 3- And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it: because that in it He had rested from all His work which God created and made.'
In refernce to the Isrealites collecting manna- Ex. 16:26-30 'Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the Sabbath, in it there shall be none. 27- and it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none. 28-And the Lord said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep My commandments and my laws? 29-See, for that the Lord hath given you the Sabbath, thereore He giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. 30- So the people rested on the seventh day.'
Ex 20:8-11: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9-Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: 10- But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord they God: in it thou shalt not do any work, though nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:11- For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.'
Hebrews 4:4-10: 'For He spake in a certian place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all His works. 5- And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. 6- Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not because of unbelief: 7- Again, He limiteth a certain day, saying to David, Today, after so long a time; as it is said, Today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts. 8- For if Jesus had given them rest, then would He not afterwrd have spoken of a nother day. 9- There remineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10- For he that is entered into His rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from His.'
Matthew 5:17-19: Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18- For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or tittle shall in no wise pass from the law till all be fulfilled. 19- Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great int he kingdom of heaven.'

See, we have to remember historical facts in regard to the Sabbath question. In 313 AD, Emperor Constatine, in order to gain more political power and to please both christians and pagans(who worshipped the sun) converted to 'christianity' and changed the day of worship to Sunday, the first day of the week from Saturday, the seventh day. A major self serving compromise that was fully embraced by the Roman church and is still embraced by most christian denominations.
Speaking on things that the childern of Isreal were doing that were abominations to the Lord, Ezekiel 8:16 says 'And he brought me into the inner court of the Lord's house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the alter, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.' KJV
Even in death, Christ kept the Sabbath. Mark 15:42,43: And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is , the day before the Sabbath,43-Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went boldly in to Pilate, and craved the body of Christ.'
Mark 16:1,2 'And when the Sabbth was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Solome had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint Him. 2- And very early in the morning on the first day of the week, they came to the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. Verse 6-...'Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: He is risen; He is not here: behold the place where they laid Him.' KJV.
You should research Constatine, the Roman church, and this historical event. Very interesting and frightening. It's all about man putting himself above God and His Word.
