Acts 2:42, 46“They devoted themselves to the apostles’
teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer... 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favour of all the people.
Acts 20:7“On the first day of the week we came together to
break bread. Paul spoke ... until midnight.”

1 Cor 10:16“Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give
thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?”
1 Cor 11:26“For whenever you eat this bread and drink this
cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.”
