They form an idiom which ordinarily means "together" but several times in the scriptures have a semi-technical sense that means something like "in church fellowship" (see Acts 1:15; Acts 2:1; 1 Corinthians 11:20; 1 Corinthians 14:23). In the Greek they are found at the end of verse 47. The reading "to the church" was probably a marginal explanation of the phrase that was added to the text by later copyists. The words "on the same" were then taken with chapter three in the sense of "together." The evidence listed above in braces takes "on the same" with verse 47.
