Markus 2:27

2:27 Then ¹  he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for people, ²  not people for the Sabbath.

Yesaya 56:6-7

56:6 As for foreigners who become followers of ³  the Lord and serve him,

who love the name of the Lord and want to be his servants –

all who observe the Sabbath and do not defile it,

and who are faithful to ⁴  my covenant –

56:7 I will bring them to my holy mountain;

I will make them happy in the temple where people pray to me. ⁵ 

Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar,

for my temple will be known as a temple where all nations may pray.” ⁶

[56:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “and take hold of”; NAB “hold to”; NIV, NRSV “hold fast.”

[56:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “in the house of my prayer.”
