The verse reads: "The official of the synagogue was angry that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, so he spoke up and said to the people, “There are six days in which we should work; so come during those days and be healed, but not on the Sabbath!”" In the context of modern business, this principle serves as a reminder of the importance of recognizing designated workdays and the necessity of balancing work with rest. As professionals, knowing when to dedicate time to work and when to rest is crucial for maintaining productivity and well-being in the workplace.
