Commentary for Avodah Zarah 92:8

דתנן השיב ר"ע או חילוף ומה הזאה שהיא משום שבות אינה דוחה השבת שחיטה שהיא דאורייתא לא כ"ש

as it was taught: R. Akiva responded: Rather conclude the reverse: if sprinkling which is only [forbidden on Shabbat] due to shevut does not supersede Shabbat, how much more must the act of slaughtering [the pesach lamb which is prohibited] by the Torah not [supersede Shabbat]!
