7 And in one day. Either doth he mean the first day of the week, which was next after the Sabbath, or else some certain Sabbath. Which latter thing may seem to me more probable: for this cause because that day was more fit for an assembly, according to custom. But seeing it is no new matter for the Evangelists to put, one, instead of the first,¹ according to the custom of the Hebrew tongue, it shall very well agree, that on the morrow after the Sabbath, they came together. Furthermore, it were too cold to expound this of any day. For to what end is there mentioned of the Sabbath, save only that he may note the opportunity & choice of the time? Also it is a likely matter that Paul waited for the sabbath, that the day before his departure, he might the more easily gather all the disciples ⟨p. 474⟩into one place, And the zeal of them all is worth the noting, in that it was no trouble to Paul to teach until midnight, though he were ready to take his journey, neither were the rest weary of learning. For he had no other cause to continue his speech so long save only the desire and attentiveness of his auditory.
