Why did Jesus change the sabbath day from 1st to 2nd?

He didn't. Firstly, you've got the numbers wrong: the Jews celebrate the Sabbath day on the seventh day of the week, which is Saturday. Christians instead meet on Sunday, which is the first day of the week. Jesus didn't change the "Sabbath", his followers did... and not immediately; the ones among them who had been Jews kept observing the Sabbath, but they also met on "the Lord's day", Sunday, because that was the day on which Jesus rose from the dead. It wasn't until there were a substantial number of non-Jewish Christians (who had no tradition of observing the Sabbath at all) that Sunday became predominant.

Why in the Strongs and Thayer dictionaries both say Sabbath when describing the word week every time the word is used in the New Testament?

The word 'week' in these passages is σάββατον, which would normally be translated to Sabbath. However, the Bible translators do not only take into account the direct translation of the word, but also convention of the time which can give it context. In the culture of that time and place, they marked the weeks in accordance with the Sabbath. As such, the word σάββατον was used not only as the singular day of the Sabbath, but also as a means of describing the time from one Sabbath to the next; that is, one week. This is actually described under definition 2 in at least the Strong's Exhaustive Concordance.However, we do not use the word Sabbath in this way in English, so the translators used the secondary cultural meaning of the Greek word to allow modern readers to understand it. So, when discussing the Sabbath itself, the translators use the word 'Sabbath'. When the text is referring to the time between Sabbaths, the translators use the word 'week'.


If the sabbath was changed from seventh day to Sunday where in the Bible can you find this?

The Bible never tells us which day the Sabbath occurs. Certainly the Old Testament does say that the Sabbath should be honoured on the seventh day, but which is the seventh day? Assuming that God really did create the world in six days and rested on the seventh, how would they have known that Saturday was the seventh day, rather than Wednesday? the Bible does not tell us and merely assumes that the Hebrew people knew which day this was. Remember that the start of the week is only a convention. It seems likely that Christian Churches adopted Sunday as their Sabbath because the Bible gives that as the day of Jesus' resurrection, whether or not the Bible instructed them to make the change.

Which day is the real sabbath?

The real sabbath day according to the Bible is the seventh day of the week (our Saturday). God blessed the seventh day of creation and set it apart for holy use. And He told us to remember and keep the sabbath day holy in the ten commandments. Many Christians believe the sabbath is now Sunday, but the Bible nowhere speaks of any change in the sabbath day. There is no such thing as a "Sunday Sabbath" because the Sabbath [the 7th day] looks back and is a memorial to creation, while Sunday [the 1st day] commemorates the resurrection but also looks ahead to the return of Jesus Christ.
