200 Sabbaths in Acts 

After Christ’s ascension, the book of Acts mentions over 200 Sabbaths observed by the apostles:

 

(A) Acts 13:14, 42, 44.     2 Sabbaths at Antioch.           2

 

(B) Acts 16:13.      1 Sabbath at Philippi.                + 1 = 3

 

(C) Acts 17:2.        3 Sabbaths at Thessalonica.   + 3 = 6

(17:17 notes other meetings with Jews)

 

(D) Acts 18:4, 11.     78 Sabbaths at Corinth.    + 78 = 84

(v.18 notes he stayed there even longer.

v.19 notes more time with the Jews in Ephesus.)

 

(E) Acts 19:8. 3 months=12 Sabbaths at Ephesus.                                                                                            + 12 = 96

(F) Acts 19:10. 2 more years = 104 Sabbaths there.                                                                  + 104 = 200 Sabbaths

TOTAL: At least 200 Sabbaths were celebrated by Paul and the apostolic church.
