First [τ η μ ι α]. Lit., "the one day." The cardinal numeral here used for the ordinal.

Week [σ α β β α τ ω ν]. The plural used for the singular, in imitation of the Hebrew form. The noun Sabbath is often used after numerals in the signification of a week. See Matthew 28:1; Mark 16:1; John 20:19. To break bread. The celebration of the eucharist, coupled with the Agape, or love - feast.

Preached [δ ι ε λ ε γ ε τ ο]. Better, as Rev., discoursed with them. It was a mingling of preaching and conference. Our word dialogue is derived from the verb.
