Summary
Why does Acts mention the disciples gathering on the first day of the week? In this Sabbath lesson from Acts 20 and Leviticus 23, we see that Paul hastened to be in Jerusalem for the Feast of Weeks, and that the law commands counting seven Sabbaths from the morrow after the Sabbath, which is why the first day is marked. Through Exodus 20, Joshua 22 and 1 Corinthians 16, you’ll learn that an altar may not be built with hewn stone for sacrifice, why Reuben, Gad and half of Manasseh built theirs only as a witness, and how Paul’s collection was gathered for Jerusalem ahead of Pentecost. Finally, Acts 20, 21 and 22, with John 16, show Paul warning the Ephesian elders of grievous wolves, being bound as Agabus foretold, taking the vow James advised, and telling the crowd how Yahushua sent him far unto the Gentiles.
