1 Corinthians 11:20

into one place . Greek. epi to auto. See Acts 2:1 . These were the social meals of the early church, called love feasts (2 Peter 2:13 .Jude 1:12; Jude 1:12 ), followed by the Lord's Supper. According to the Greek custom, each brought his own provisions, and while the rich fared sumptuously, the poor sometimes had little or nothing; for the spirit of division led to the exclusion by some of all who were not of their own party. Thus sectarianism invaded even the Lord's table.

Lord's . Greek. kuriakos. Only here and Revelation 1:10 . See note there.
