When they had entered the city, they went up to the upstairs room where they were staying, that is, Peter, John, James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James. 14All these were continually devoting themselves with one mind to prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers. 15At this time Peter stood up among the brothers and sisters (a group of about 120 people was there together), and said,

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 13They went up into an upper room - This was either a room in the temple, or in the house of one of the disciples, where this holy company was accustomed to meet.
