This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Continued (ἦσαν προσκαρτεροῦντες)
Participle and finite verb, as above. The verb is from καρτερὸς strong, stanch, and means originally to persist obstinately in. In this sense here, and in Rom 12:12; Rom 13:6. Hence to adhere firmly to. So in Mar 3:9, “that a small ship should wait on him;” i.e., keep near at hand. The idea of steady persistence is supplied by the Rev., steadfastly.
With one accord (ὁμοθυμαδὸν)
See on agree, Mat 18:19.
In prayer
The best texts omit and supplication.
Mary
Mentioned here for the last time in the New Testament.
