People's Commentary (NT)
Acts 1:14
These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication. The
latter clause is omitted in the Revised Version. They were waiting for
the "promise of the Father" (Acts 1:4), and the time was spent in
worship. There were ten days of prayer, the best preparation for the
Pentecostal blessing; an example to all churches which seek an
ingathering of souls.
With the women. Especially those women who had followed and
ministered to the Lord, lingered at his cross, and at his tomb.
Mary. This is the last time she is named in the sacred history.
Tradition reports that she lived until the near the time of the
overthrow of Jerusalem.
His brethren. The sons of Joseph and Mary. One of them, James,
was afterwards the James of Jerusalem and the author of the Epistle of
James. See Acts 15:13 Mt 13:55. They were unbelievers six months
before (John 7:5), but now believed. James had seen the risen Lord
(1 Corinthians 15:7).
