B. Resurrection references on the first day

Matthew 28:1 (and following)

“Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.”

“Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons.”

C. Conclusion from the context

Please show anywhere in the context where Jesus rising on the first day of the week means Sunday is the new Christian Sabbath, or that any sanctity is attached to the first day. The texts simply state He rose on the first day of the week.
