Early on Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been taken away from the entrance.

It was late that Sunday evening, and the disciples were gathered together behind locked doors, because they were afraid of the Jewish authorities. Then Jesus came and stood among them. "Peace be with you," he said.

A week later the disciples were together again indoors, and Thomas was with them. The doors were locked, but Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you."

Every Sunday each of you must put aside some money, in proportion to what you have earned, and save it up, so that there will be no need to collect money when I come.

On the Lord's day the Spirit took control of me, and I heard a loud voice, that sounded like a trumpet, speaking behind me.

In the following instructions, however, I do not praise you, because your meetings for worship actually do more harm than good.

(No doubt there must be divisions among you so that the ones who are in the right may be clearly seen.)

For as you eat, you each go ahead with your own meal, so that some are hungry while others get drunk.

Then he went back upstairs, broke bread, and ate. After talking with them for a long time, even until sunrise, Paul left.

They spent their time in learning from the apostles, taking part in the fellowship, and sharing in the fellowship meals and the prayers.

Day after day they met as a group in the Temple, and they had their meals together in their homes, eating with glad and humble hearts,

Then he took a piece of bread, gave thanks to God, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in memory of me."

The two then explained to them what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized the Lord when he broke the bread.

The cup we use in the Lord's Supper and for which we give thanks to God: when we drink from it, we are sharing in the blood of Christ. And the bread we break: when we eat it, we are sharing in the body of Christ.

When you meet together as a group, it is not the Lord's Supper that you eat.

Don't you have your own homes in which to eat and drink? Or would you rather despise the church of God and put to shame the people who are in need? What do you expect me to say to you about this? Shall I praise you? Of course I don't!

gave thanks to God, broke it, and said, "This is my body, which is for you. Do this in memory of me."

This means that every time you eat this bread and drink from this cup you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

So then, you should each examine yourself first, and then eat the bread and drink from the cup.

That is why many of you are sick and weak, and several have died.

But we are judged and punished by the Lord, so that we shall not be condemned together with the world.

And if any of you are hungry, you should eat at home, so that you will not come under God's judgment as you meet together. As for the other matters, I will settle them when I come.

A young man named Eutychus was sitting in the window, and as Paul kept on talking, Eutychus got sleepier and sleepier, until he finally went sound asleep and fell from the third story to the ground. When they picked him up, he was dead.

Then he went back upstairs, broke bread, and ate. After talking with them for a long time, even until sunrise, Paul left.

Watch, then, and remember that with many tears, day and night, I taught every one of you for three years.

So they set a date with Paul, and a large number of them came that day to the place where Paul was staying. From morning till night he explained to them his message about the Kingdom of God, and he tried to convince them about Jesus by quoting from the Law of Moses and the writings of the prophets.

There in the square by the gate he read the Law to them from dawn until noon, and they all listened attentively.

For about three hours the Law of the LORD their God was read to them, and for the next three hours they confessed their sins and worshiped the LORD their God.

But by God's grace I am what I am, and the grace that he gave me was not without effect. On the contrary, I have worked harder than any of the other apostles, although it was not really my own doing, but God's grace working with me.

to preach the message, to insist upon proclaiming it (whether the time is right or not), to convince, reproach, and encourage, as you teach with all patience.
