You realize, of course, that the day began at sunset for the Hebrews, the Apostles and the early church. Evening and morning....(evening comes first), one day. The beginning of the day for the New Testament church was at sundown....and the meal being described is simply that....a meal (not a communion) and Paul spoke until midnight as he was planning on leaving the next day......the Sabbath now being past.Actually, that would not be correct. Only the Jewish nataion began their day at sunset. To be precise they began thir night at sunset and their day at sunrise. The rest of the Roman world began their day at Midnight. The Gospel of John was written using Roman, not Jewish, time. Any event taking place outside of the nation of Israel would be using Roman time. Thus, when the scriptures say that the Christians came together on the first day of the week it means after midnight which began the first day. Your understanding is a common folly based on incorrect teaching.
