Commentators unanimously point to this verse as one of the clearest and earliest examples of the early church gathering for worship on the 'first day of the week' (Sunday). This practice, rooted in celebrating Jesus' resurrection, became a foundational rhythm for Christian community and worship, distinct from the Jewish Sabbath.
