3AMS

When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed. (Acts 20:11)

Was come up.

Or, “had gone up.” The apostle’s calmness, as well as his words, must have had an effect upon the disturbed congregation. Paul returned to the upper room and continued the meeting.

Had broken bread.

“They partook of the communion” (AA 391). See Matt. 26:26-30; Acts 2:46; 1 Cor. 11:23-30; see on Acts 2:42. This was a planned feature of what apparently otherwise was an informal gathering (see on v. 7).

Talked.

The Greek expression implies the talk of friendly intercourse as distinguished from formal discourse.

Break of day.

Sunrise at that latitude and shortly after the Passover comes between five and six in the morning.
