"And there were many lights in the upper chamber where we were gathered together"Many lights": Probably little hand lamps. "Upper chamber": Which was on the third floor of this building (Acts 20:9). "The upper rooms were often larger than those on lower floors...and also would be further removed from the noise of the street" (Reese p. 736). Unfortunately, some professed Christians have erroneously concluded from this statement that Christians must always meet in an upper room when they gather together. Sadly, such people have never paid attention when reading about Christians meeting in Solomon's porch (Acts 5:12) (which was ground floor), and that Jesus indicated that no official place of worship would exist in the New Covenant (John 4:21).
