Prayer and Teaching of the Disciples

Acts 3:1 (NASB)
Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the ninth hour, the hour of prayer.

A Theme to Remember:
In the ancient Jewish community, prayers were observed three times each day: morning, or 9:00; afternoon, or 3:00; and evening, or sunset. This verse refers to the 3:00 gathering. Setting times for prayer each day establishes an important pattern and nourishes the soul just as regular meals feed the body.

Words to Remember:
Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night.
–Thomas Fuller
