Context of Acts 1:14

12Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is near Jerusalem — a Sabbath day’s journey away. 13When they arrived, they went to the room upstairs where they were staying: Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James. They all were continually united in prayer, along with the women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers. 15In those days Peter stood up among the brothers and sisters — the number of people who were together was about a hundred twenty — and said, 16“Brothers and sisters, it was necessary that the Scripture be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit through the mouth of David foretold about Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus.

Commentaries on Acts 1:14

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 14These - continued - in prayer and supplication - Waiting for the promise of the Father, according to the direction of our Lord, Luke 24:49. The words ͅ , and in supplication, are omitted by ABC*DE, both the Syriac, the Coptic, Ethiopic, Armenian, Vulgate, Itala, and some of the primitive fathers. On this evidence, Griesbach has left them out of the text; and others contend for the propriety of this omission, because, say they, ͅ ͅ and ͅ , prayer and…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 14These all continued … - The word “continued” denotes “persevering and constant attention.” The main business was devotion.
