The Sabbath begins at sundown on what you pagans call Friday

Can you define "you pagans" with Greek or Hebrew words found in the scriptures ? It's odd to see you using this Latin based word. If we look at Acts it seems to me the usage is not kosher when addressed to individuals here. Perhaps you intended the word, Gentiles which is not perjurative.

On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.

And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

See what happens when I turn off the spelling software; perjurative = pejorative when spelled correctly.
