John 20:26

After eight days; on the next Lord's day.

Acts 20:7

First day of the week; the Lord's day, or Christian Sabbath.

To break bread; celebrate the Lord's supper. The first day of the week was observed by the apostles and those who were under the special guidance of the Holy Ghost, as the Lord's day or the Christian Sabbath, a day for hearing the gospel and public worship. It has been so observed by pious men and by the church of God in all subsequent ages, and it will continue to be so observed to the end of time.

1 Corinthians 16:2

Upon the first day of the week; the day set apart and observed by the apostles and Christians as the Lord's day, the Christian Sabbath.

Lay by him in store; at home.

That there be no gatherings; that their gifts might be ready when the apostle should come. As the first day of the week is the Lord's day, and from his resurrection has been observed by his people as sacred to his worship, it is a proper time for them to consider his goodness, and contribute, or lay by in store, as he has prospered them, for the supply of the wants of their fellow-men.

Revelation of John 1:10

In the Spirit; under his miraculous and prophetical influence.

The Lord's day; the first day of the week, commemorating the Lord's resurrection, and observed as a day of divine worship, the Christian Sabbath.

A great voice; that of Jesus Christ. Verse Re 1:13. The fact that the first day of the week was regarded by the apostles and first Christians as, in a special sense, the Lord's day, and that it was known and kept as such, devoted to divine worship and acts of beneficence throughout the churches, indicates the will of God that it should be observed in all coming ages as the Christian Sabbath. 1Co 16:2.
