on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o acts._n 1_o 1.12_o acts._n 1.12_o mount_n olivet_n be_v say_v to_o be_v from_o jerusalem_n a_o sabbath_n day_n journey_n which_o sabbath_n day_n

you_o therefore_o every_o man_n in_o his_o place_n let_v no_o no_n man_n go_v out_o of_o his_o place_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n if_o every_o man_n be_v command_v to_o abide_v in_o his_o place_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n how_o then_o come_v in_o this_o sabbath_n day_n journey_n why_o certain_o i_o can_v give_v no_o other_o reason_n for_o it_o but_o what_o oecumenius_n and_o lorinus_n do_v give_v and_o that_o be_v that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o joshua_n he_o command_v it_o to_o be_v proclaim_v that_o the_o ark_n go_v before_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o distance_n leave_v between_o it_o &_o the_o
