   Both occurrences use a present middle participle for being seated with others. In Mark 14:54 the APB renders Peter as "sitting with the servants" in the high priest's courtyard; in Acts 26:30 it renders the accompanying group as "those who were sitting with them" when the king rises.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the participle with "sitting with" in both verses, applying it to Peter in Mark 14:54 and to a plural group in Acts 26:30. These renderings confirm the clauses' shared seated-with-others setting rather than establish a separate nuance.
