Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Acts 2:41-47.


Acts 2:46

_ _ daily ... in the temple — observing the hours of Jewish worship.

_ _ 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.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Acts 2:42-47.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Acts 2:46

Continuing daily — breaking the bread — in the Lord's Supper, as did many Churches for some ages. They partook of their food with gladness and singleness of heart — They carried the same happy and holy temper through all their common actions: eating and working with the same spirit wherewith they prayed and received the Lord's Supper.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

(14) The faithful came together at the beginning with tremendous results, not only for the hearing of the word, but also to eat.
