Peter therefore was kept in prison
Till the feast of the passover was at an end:
but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God
for him;
this was not done by them as a body together, but either by them
in several bands at different places, or by some of the principal
of the church at some one certain place, and where they might
frequently change companies, and keep on a continual incessant
prayer for days together; and whereas it is very likely it might
be at the beginning of the passover, when Peter was taken up, and
it was now at the close of it, when he was delivered, the church
might be engaged by companies alternately, a whole week together,
in prayer, on this occasion.
