into one place. Greek. epi to auto. See Acts 2:1. These were the social meals of the early church, called love feasts (2 Peter 2:13.Jude 1:12; Jude 1:12), followed by the Lord's Supper. According to the Greek custom, each brought his own provisions, and while the rich fared sumptuously, the poor sometimes had little or nothing; for the spirit of division led to the exclusion by some of all who were not of their own party. Thus sectarianism invaded even the Lord's table.
Lord's. Greek. kuriakos. Only here and Revelation 1:10. See note there.
