to ensure that it always fell on Sunday, "the first day of the week," as in the Gospels.

I always thought that God rested on the seventh day.

"I always thought that God rested on the seventh day."

Yes.
And the Seventh Day is Saturday.
Which is why the Sabbath, in the Bible and in Jewish practice, falls on Saturday.
The First Day is Sunday.

He did - that's why the Jewish Sabbath is on Saturday.
