Acts 1:12-14 Contemporary English Version (CEV)

Someone To Take the Place of Judas

^12-13The Mount of Olives was about half a mile from Jerusalem. The apostles who had gone there were Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon, known as the Eager One,^[a] and Judas the son of James.

After the apostles returned to the city, they went upstairs to the room where they had been staying.

¹⁴The apostles often met together and prayed with a single purpose in mind.^[b] The women and Mary the mother of Jesus would meet with them, and so would his brothers.

Footnotes:

1.12,13 Eager One: The Greek text has”Zealot,” a name later given to the members of the Jewish group that resisted and fought against the Romans.
1.14 met together and prayed with a single purpose in mind: Or “met together in a special place for prayer.”
