This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Act 1:14. Ὁμοθυμαδὸν, with one accord) This particle is often employed in the Acts, suitably to the subject of the book: outside of the Acts it does not occur, save once, in the New Testament, viz. Rom 15:6.-τῇ προσευχῇ καὶ τῇ δεήσει) As to the difference between these words, see 1Ti 2:1, note [δέησις, from δεῖ, is an imploring of the Divine grace in some special need: προσευχὴ, prayer, is any presenting of our wishes and desires before God].-σὺν γυναιξὶ, with the women) Luk 24:10, at the sepulchre, “Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women;” 1Co 9:5, “Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord?”-Μαρίᾳ, Mary) of whom the last mention in the New Testament is made here. She being held in high esteem among the saints, on account of both her holiness and her age, furnished testimony as to all things which had taken place all along from the time of the Annunciation.-ἀδελφοῖς, with His brethren) His cousins. These two were gained over, though in the beginning they had not believed. [Joh 7:5.]
