We saw that each of the commandments is extremely important and that when a person breaks any one of the Ten Commandments he is guilty of breaking all of them. The Fourth Commandment is found in Exodus 20:8-11:
"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maid servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 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."
God has instituted a special day of the week on which we are to put aside our secular activities and concern ourselves only with fellowship with Him. The Sabbath day is to be a day of pleasant companionship with God, much like the first Sabbath in the Garden of Eden.

What is the prohibition in the fourth commandment?
The core idea of the fourth commandment is to keep the Sabbath holy. This is more of a "do" than a "do not", but the rest of the commandment fills in some of the "do nots" to help people fulfill the "do". According to the commandment, the main thing to avoid doing is working on the Sabbath. This prohibition extended to all the members of the family and even guests or "strangers" in your house. The reasoning, which is included in the commandment, is that God made the world in six days, and rested on the seventh, and made it holy, so we should also rest on that day. In the Bible this commandment was taken very seriously, and people were stoned for not following it. Gathering firewood was the first infraction after the Ten Commandments were given on Sinai, and the Sabbath-breaker was stoned for it. There are other similar examples in Scripture, but by Jesus' day, the priests and leaders had invented many additional restrictions to try to keep people from breaking the Sabbath. Jesus attempted to help people understand that these were against God's will. This is why he said things like "It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath." He was trying to clarify what the religious leaders had made confusing and unnecessarily complex. It isn't so much about what you shouldn't do as about what you should.
Which commandment forbids doing unnecessary work on the sabbath?
There is no such commandment. The reason for this notion is a tradition that started with the commandment "Keep Holy the Sabbath Day." It was interpreted to mean that people should not labor gainfully on the Sabbath. Sunday is, however, not the Sabbath. The fact that Sunday is the holy day of the week is a Christian tradition.
