Acts 2:46

and breaking bread from house to house—rather, "at home" (Margin), that is, in private, as contrasted with their temple-worship, but in some stated place or places of meeting.

eat their meat with gladness—"exultation."

and singleness of heart.



Acts 2:41-47

BEAUTIFUL BEGINNINGS OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH. (Acts 2:41-47)

they that gladly received his word were baptized—"It is difficult to say how three thousand could be baptized in one day, according to the old practice of a complete submersion; and the more as in Jerusalem there was no water at hand except Kidron and a few pools. The difficulty can only be removed by supposing that they already employed sprinkling, or baptized in houses in large vessels. Formal submersion in rivers, or larger quantities of water, probably took place only where the locality conveniently allowed it" [OLSHAUSEN].

the same day there were added to them about three thousand souls—fitting inauguration of the new kingdom, as an economy of the Spirit!
