Scripture teaches assembly on the first day of the week.
Ac 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
1Co 16:2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
The Pharisees drove the early Jewish Christians out of the temple. They were forced to meet on the first day of the week outside of the temple.
For the cause of Christ

The only few verse in all the bible that talk about the "first day of the week". You should do a study of the Greek here. Novices who try to make the attempt have been rebuked by their more scholarly sunday keeping brethren who categorically deny the possibility of such a translation. Same word here is used in Mat 28:1.
1598. Sunday, Authority for—Not in Bible

Why will not Christian people investigate and find out for themselves (which they easily can), that the keeping of Sunday as a “holy Sabbath day,” is wholly without warrant.
I challenge any priest or minister of the Christian religion, to show me the slightest authority for the religious observance of Sunday. And, if such cannot be shown by them, why is it that they are constantly preaching about Sunday as a holy day? Are they not open to the suspicion of imposing upon the confidence and credulity of their hearers? Surely they are deliberately and knowingly practicing deception upon those who look to them for candor and for truth, unless they can give satisfactory reasons for teaching that Sunday is a sacred day. There never was, and is not now, any such “satisfactory reasons.” No student of the Bible has ever brought to light a single verse, line or word, world, which can, by any possibility, be construed into a warrant for the religious observance of Sunday. Quotations from the writings of the “Church Fathers,” and others familiar with Church history, support this statement, and include the names of Tertul[l]ian, Eusebius, Ireneus, Victorinus, Theodoretus, Origen, Chrysostom, Jerome, Luther, Melanc[h]thon, Zwingle, Knox, Tyndale, Grotius, Neander, Mosheim, Heylyn, Frith, Milton, Priestly, Domville. John Calvin had so little respect for the day that he could be found playing bowls most any Sunday.
The claim that Sunday takes the place of Saturday, and that because of the Jews were supposed to be commanded to keep the seventh day of the week holy, therefore that the first day of the week should be so kept by Christians, is so utterly absurd as to be hardly worth considering.
