A Sabbath day Journey
A "Sabbath day's journey," is an idiomatic term to describe the distance that a Jewish person was permitted to travel on the Sabbath without violating religious law. The concept comes from rabbinic interpretation of Exodus 16:29: "See, the Lord has given you the Sabbath, therefore on the sixth day he gives you bread for two days. Remain each of you in his place; let no one go out of his place on the seventh day.”
The Jewish religious leaders defined this permitted distance as about 2,000 cubits, which is roughly equivalent to around 1 kilometer or 0.6 miles. This was approximately the distance from the wall of the city to the surrounding camps in the desert during the Exodus, which served as a practical limit for people wishing to go out on the Sabbath day. This term is used to give a sense of the distance from the Mount of Olives to Jerusalem.
| 13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphæus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James. |
