12Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.

13And when they had entered, they went up to the upstairs room where they were staying: Peter, John, James, and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.

14All of these were continually devoting themselves with one accord to prayer, together with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
