This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Often (πυκνὰ)
Only here, Act 24:26; 1Ti 5:23. The word literally means close-packed, as a thicket, or the plumage of a bird.
Prayers (δεήσεις)
Used by no other evangelist. From δέομαι, to want, and hence distinctively of petitionary prayer. In classical Greek the word is not restricted to sacred uses, but is employed of requests preferred to men. Rev., more correctly, supplications.
