Luke 22:12• 12And he shall show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. (Luke 22:12)
• By the place in which they came together we see that the assemblies were not composed of very many persons. The upper room in Jerusalem received, perhaps, 120. It appears by different salutations, that they met in private houses-probably in several, if the number of believers required it; but there was only one assembly. (“Acts 20” by J.N. Darby)
