12 ¶ Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount that is called the mount of Olives, which is near to Jerusalem, being from it a Sabbath [a]day’s journey.
13 [b]And when they were [c]come in, they went up into an upper chamber, where abode both Peter and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zealot, and Judas James’s brother.
14 These all [d]continued with [e]one accord in [f]prayer and supplication with the [g]women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his [h]brethren.
