5 These men, going ahead, waited for us at aTroas.  
6 But we sailed away from Philippi after athe Days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days joined them bat Troas, where we stayed seven days.  

Ministering at Troas

7 Now on athe first day of the week, when the disciples came together bto break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight.  
8 There were many lamps ain the upper room where they were gathered together.  
9 And in a window sat a certain young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep. He was overcome by sleep; and as Paul continued speaking, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead.
10 But Paul went down, afell on him, and embracing him said, b“Do not trouble yourselves, for his life is in him.”  
11 Now when he had come up, had broken bread and eaten, and talked a long while, even till daybreak, he departed.
12 And they brought the young man in alive, and they were not a little comforted.

Acts 20:7

upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together—This, compared with I Corinthians 16:2, and other similar allusions, plainly indicates that the Christian observance of the day afterwards distinctly called "the Lord's Day," was already a fixed practice of the churches.

Paul preached—discoursed. The tense implies continued action—"kept discoursing."
