As a young Christian, for starting to read the word and learn about scriptures,

I thought synagogue and temple were the same thing.

And so when I read in scripture that he visited the synagogue,

I just figured they had this big temple like in every city.

Synagogue is not the temple, right?

The temples were the sacrifices take place.

It's where the priests do their work.

That's what that temple is.

It's one location in all the land of Israel and it's one of a kind, nothing like it.

The synagogue is a different thing altogether.

The synagogue is where, whether we gather together and that's what the word means.

Soon to go gay, gather together.

That's what it is, gather together.

And so the synagogue is that location.

They would meet on the Sabbath, but they would also meet on this,

that which is the seventh day of the week, Saturday or Friday at sundown.

That's because they would see the beginning of the day at sundown.

So there's Sabbath or Saturday would be Friday night.

That was the one it would begin.

And they would also meet on the second and the fifth days of the week for worship.

But when they met on the Sabbath, which seems to be what's happening right here in Mark,

they meet on the Sabbath.
