Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 2:42

42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers .

Speak the reality of their Conversion, and that they were not onely for the present affected with what they had heard and seen.

These three parts of worship were frequently, if not always in those purer times used together: tho some understand by breaking of bread, their civil fellowship and community; yet breaking being a holy rite used by our Saviour, at the institution of his Supper, Matth. 26 26. and breaking of bread being here put in conjunction with Preaching and Praying, the celebration of the Eucharist, if not onely mean d, is chiefly to be understood in this place. (Prayers) all those kind of Prayers mentioned by St. Paul. 1 Tim. 2.1. as also their frequent praying, is implyed; thus by an united force, they laboured to pull down mercies upon themselves and others, and to do violence unto the Kingdom of Heaven.
