I didn't know it wasn't permitted to fast on the Sabbath. For reference, where is this taught?I don't think leaf is correct. They are not numbering the days of fast and never say how many days he fasted. The reference makes more sense as indicating that during the fast - he broke the fast for the "Lord's Day". (It was not permitted to fast on Sabbath)
"And on the seventh day, it being the Lord's day, he said to them: Now it is time for me also to partake of food. And having washed his hands and face, he prayed, and brought out the linen cloth, and took one of the dates, and ate it in the sight of all. And when they had ridden a long time they came to the end of their journey, John thus fasting. And they brought him before the king, and said:..."In any case - the Bible already tells us which day is the Lord's day.
Is 58:13
the Sabbath
13 “If because of the sabbath, you turn your foot
From doing your own pleasure on My holy day,
And call the Sabbath a delight, the holy day of the Lord honorable,
And honor it, desisting from your own ways,
From seeking your own pleasure
And speaking your own word,
