Study Lenses

The verse centers on "accord", "continued", "steadfastly", "prayer", "supplication", "along", "women", and "mary". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "accord" and "continued", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 13's "When they had come in they went..." into verse 15's "In these days Peter stood up in...", so "accord" and "continued" belong inside that flow. In Acts context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "accord" and "continued" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
