These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
They all stuck together, praying constantly and asking God for what they needed. The women were right there with them, including Mary (Jesus' mom) and his brothers.

📚 Historical Context
After Jesus' ascension into heaven, his disciples and other followers gathered in Jerusalem as he had commanded, waiting for the Holy Spirit to empower them for their mission. This included the eleven apostles, the women who had supported Jesus' ministry, his mother Mary, and his brothers who had previously been skeptical but now joined in faith. Their unified prayer reflected the early church's dependence on God during a time of transition and anticipation.
