On the Sabbath day we went outside of the city by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.

EXPLANATION

Verse 13. There was prayer. [1] The Greek word signifies either prayer itself, or an oratory, or place to pray in. Witham.—Not every prayer is here understood, but that which was joined in the celebration of the sacred mysteries. Estius in diffic. loca. See 1 Corinthians 7 and Acts 6.
