Affected Teaching
The word “supplication” was omitted in the modern versions and it means that the disciples and the others who were gathered in the upper room were not only in one accord in prayer but were making specific petitions or earnest requests within those prayers. They had just returned from the ascension of the Lord and now was a time of waiting for the coming of the Holy Spirit but they did not know it would be ten days, so they were specifically petitioning the Lord and no doubt concerning the coming of the Comforter.
