Context1:13 When 1 they had entered Jerusalem, 2 they went to the upstairs room where they were staying. Peter 3 and John, and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James were there. 4 1:14 All these continued together in prayer with one mind, together with the women, along with Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers. 5 1:15 In those days 6 Peter stood up among the believers 7 (a gathering of about one hundred and twenty people) and said,

2 tn The word “Jerusalem” is not in the Greek text but is implied (direct objects were often omitted when clear from the context).
3 sn In the various lists of the twelve, Peter (also called Simon) is always mentioned first (see also Matt 10:1-4; Mark 3:16-19; Luke 6:13-16) and the first four are always the same, though not in the same order after Peter.
4 tn The words “were there” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.
5 sn Jesus’ brothers are mentioned in Matt 13:55 and John 7:3.
6 tn Grk “And in those days.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.
7 tn Or “brethren” (but the term includes both male and female believers present in this gathering, as indicated by those named in vv. 13-14).
