Context of Acts 1:14

12Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day’s journey. 13And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James. These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. 15And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,) 16Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took 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.

They had now a great work to do, and before they entered upon it, they were earnest in prayer to God for his presence. They were waiting for the descent of the Spirit, and abounded in prayer. Those…Read the comment

The faithful women who witnessed Jesus's crucifixion and resurrection were there (Luke 23:49, 54–56; 24:1–10, 22). The brothers of Jesus did not believe in him during his earthly ministry (John 7:3–5; compare Matthew 12:46–49). But they became his disciples after his resurrection.Read the comment
