Acts 20:7

Acts 20:7

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.”

<< Acts 20:6

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."
