This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
In the temple; in the court and porches of the temple, whither the people did use to resort at the time of the morning and evening sacrifice and prayers, that by means of the great concourse at such times they might have the better opportunity to preach the gospel amongst them; casting that net where they found most fish.
Breaking bread; not only celebrating the eucharist, but their love feasts which they usually had at that time, as 1Co_11:21,22.
From house to house; now here, now there, as they could conveniently; the richer also entertaining their poorer brethren at their tables.
Did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart: if the former words be understood of the Lord’s supper, then these words speak the great spiritual strength, cheer, and comfort they got by it: if we understand them of the ordinary meats which they willingly bestowed one upon another, the rich were more than recompensed with inward peace and satisfaction, for what they gave unto their poor brethren.
