Atos 1

A replacement for Judas Iscariot

13 When they had entered [the city] they went up into the upper room*Probably the same one that was used for the last Passover, since the Text has ‘the upper room’. Both Mark 14:15 and Luke 22:12 inform us that the room was ‘large’, as it would have to be to hold 120 people (see verse 15 below). where they were staying: namely Peter and James, John and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas of James.*Since there was more than one James, Simon and Judas, the last three require an added description. The Text presents the names in pairs, and so have I.
