The word Sabbath comes from Biblical Hebrew and means a day of cessation from labor or creative work. In Judaism, this day is from Friday sundown until Saturday after twilight.
The biblical Sabbath or Holy Day of Rest was traditionally on a Saturday, so Sunday was and still is the first day of the new week.
A Sabbath-day is a day kept holy as the Sabbath.
Many Christians keep Sabbath on Sunday the first day of the week. The Jewish Sabbath starts Friday at sundown and ends Saturday at sundown, the 7th day of the week. Another View: The majority of Christians observe Sunday, the first day of the week, and may refer to it as 'Sabbath' designating it as a day of rest. Many point to the resurrection of Jesus for the reason for this change from the Biblical Sabbath, the seventh day of the week. The Biblical Sabbath is Saturday, the seventh-day of the week. Jews and over 18 million Christians observe this day. They observe it according to the Biblical commandment from sundown Friday to Saturday at sundown. In over 140 different languages the seventh-day of the week, which we call Saturday, uses the term translated 'Sabbath' or 'rest".
Well it's spelled sabbath but the sabbath day is actually held on Friday but today is held on Sunday, the sabbath day was meant to be a day of rest and a day to worship God ____________________________________________________________________ The Jewish word for Sabbath is Shabbat. The Shabbat day starts Friday night at sundown and ends Saturday night at sundown. The biblical day always starts and ends at sundown. Berishit (Genesis) 1:5b says, "And there was evening and there was morning, one day." So we know the new day starts at sundown. The Shabbat day is a day to do no work, yet a day to do the works of the Sabbath. The Torah (first five books of the bible), tells what works are prohibited and what works one must do. For example, lighting a flame is prohibited. Meeting with the assembly is required. Newhere in the bible do we see it changed to Sunday. Sunday is not even a biblical day, it's on the Gregorian calendar, not the biblical/Jewish calendar. The Shabbat day is a day to reflect on eternity. Every Law teaches something about the Messiah and eternity with Him. It's a day of Prayer. It's a day to hear the words of Moshe (Moses). It's a day of learning. There is much more that can be said that the Shabbat day is.
The Bible never really says which day of the week the Sabbath is. And since we operate on a Gregorian calendar, rather than the Jewish calendar, they don't directly correspond. However, for a very long time now, the Sabbath has been observed from Friday night at sundown to Saturday night at sundown.

The phrase "sabbath day"comes from the Bible. Sabbath means "to rest" and the sabbath day was instituted by God during creation week when He created the seventh day and made it a holy day for rest. God also included the sabbath day into the ten commandments.
That is the correct spelling of "sabbath" or Sabbath, a weekly religious day.
the sabbath is a holy day of rest

The Sabbath day for Peter was the seventh day of the week, the same sabbath day that Jesus kept and the other apostles. In Acts 16:13 we read that Paul went to the riverside on the sabbath day to pray to God. He wanted to retreat from the city and be in a quiet place with God on the sabbath. Thus showing that the apostles still kept the seventh day sabbath as per the 4th commandment.
