    This is being misinterpreted. Back in the bible days they didn’t have to commute and have clean clothes and not smell like shit. When you consider all that as work plus washing and errands on the weekend we’re all working 70 hour weeks. The bible and god himself in all his wisdom and Jesus are telling, no commanding us to work at least 20 hours less a week. Much closer to a 4 or 3 and a half days in the office and the rest is made up of modern life. This is the correct and true interpretation as Christ insisted.

      Alternatively Jesus predating all of modern science and medicine had no way to estimate what kind of schedule would be optimal and was just telling people not to work literally every single day.
