Exodus 20:8-11 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.… The Governor Turnusrupis once asked Rabbi Akiba, "What is this day you call the Sabbath, more than any other day?" The Rabbi responded, "What art thou, more than any other person?" "I am superior to others," he replied, "because the Emperor has appointed me governor over them." Then said Akiba, "The Lord our God, who is greater than your Emperor, has appointed the Sabbath day to be holier than the other days." (Talmud.)
