Acts 20:7

On Saturday evening. This is the evening of the "first day of the week." By the Jewish way of figuring time, the Sabbath expired at 6:00 P.M. on the day we call Saturday, and the first day of the week began there and continued until 6 P.M. of the day we call Sunday, at which time it terminated and the second day of the week began. We follow the Roman method of counting from midnight to midnight. We gathered together. This is a clear example of the practice of the believers which began immediately after the Lord Jesus raised from death. They met together on the first day of the new week for religious purposes (compare 1 Corinthians 16:1-2). This was their regular meeting, at which Paul spoke. For the fellowship meal. It was the custom well into the middle of the second century to eat the Lord's Supper [Holy Meal] in the CONTEXT of a "fellowship meal" (also known as a "love feast," "agape," "eucharist"). Compare notes on Acts 2:42; Acts 2:46; Jude 1:12. Note they gathered together for this. Acts 20:11 shows the actual eating of the Lord's Supper [Holy Meal]. The next day. Sunday morning. The Sabbath (Saturday) was still a day of rest for many. [On the use of day, see John 11:9.] Sunday is the Lord's Day (see note on Revelation 1:10).
