7 a )
- First , they devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles
The apostles are witnesses passing along the things which they have seen and heard . It is entirely possible that the apostles had common set of instruction which they regularly passed along to new converts . If this is the case , then there was a basic body of tradition within months of the death of Jesus which could be called the “ teaching of the apostles . ”
- Second , they devoted themselves to fellowship ( κοινωνία ) . Since this word has the connotation of sharing common,
I would suggest that many of those who needed assistance were Diaspora pilgrims who accepted the message of Jesus and remained in Jerusalem rather than to return home after Pentecost .
- Third , they devoted themselves to “ breaking of bread. ” While this phrase can be used of sharing a meal together , it is likely that Luke is describing the community as celebrating some form of communion. Jesus breaking bread as two disciples realized who he was . I think that Jesus ’ practice of common meals was the foundation for this practice they all ate and drank together as one group .
- Fourth , they devoted themselves to prayers . Since the Greek is plural this is plausibly a reference to daily prayers in the Temple . It would not be unusual for Jewish men to go to the Temple several times a day to pray , so the community continues to worship at the Temple regularly . This likely put them into contact with other observant Jews who would then be introduced to Jesus as Messiah .

5A. According to Matthew's account, Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
While in the wilderness, Jesus fasted for forty days and forty nights. He was very hungry. Then, the devil came to Jesus with the question, if He were the Son of God, He should turn or command the stones to turn into bread. Jesus refused the request/challenge of the devil by saying, man should not live by bread alone, but by the words of God.
Then, the devil took Jesus to the holy city and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple. He asked Jesus to throw Himself down, for God will set His angels to take care of Him so that, He will not strike His feet against a stone. But, Jesus replied the devil that there was no need in tempting the God.
Again, the devil took Jesus to a high mountain and showed Him all the glories of the world and riches. He asked Jesus to bow before Him, so that all the glories of the world would be given to Him as rewards.
But, Jesus asked the devil to go away, as He would serve the Lord alone, and bow to Him. When all these temptations failed, the devil left Him alone. Then, the angel of the Lord came to attend to Jesus.
