rwp @Acts:2:46 @{With one accord in the temple } (\homothumadon en t “i hier “i \). See on ¯1:14 | for \homothumadon \. They were still worshipping in the temple for no breach had yet come between Christians and Jews . Daily they were here and daily breaking bread at home (\kat ' oikon \) which looks like the regular meal . {They did take their food } (\metelambanon troph ˆs \). Imperfect tense again and clearly referring to the regular meals at home . Does it refer also to the possible \agapai \ or to the Lord 's Supper afterwards as they had common meals "from house to house " (\kat ' oikon \)? We know there were local churches in the homes where they had "worship rooms ," the church in the house . At any rate it was "with singleness " (\aphelot ˆti \) of heart . The word occurs only here in the N .T ., though a late _Koin ‚ _ word (papyri ). It comes from \aphel ˆs \, free from rock (\phelleus \ is stony ground ), smooth . The old form was \apheleia \.
