Ministry on This Verse

 Some have supposed that when Paul had gone up and broken the loaf and eaten, it was the interrupted celebration of the Lord’s Supper. This appears to me opposed to the intimations of the context. Scripture describes it, not as fellowship, but solely as the personal act of the Apostle. No doubt it was “the loaf” of the Lord’s Supper; but it was that loaf now partaken of by the Apostle for his own refreshment....the apostle’s “conversing” with them a long while, till daybreak, much better suits a meal than the assembly. (Acts 20:7-12 by W. Kelly)
