Acts 2:44
Acts 2:44 Had all things common. Many, perhaps most, were sojourners at, not citizens of, Jerusalem. It was needful that they remain together for the time, and while sojourning here, they threw their common funds together. Alford says: "In order, however, rightly to understand this "community", we may remark, "It is only found in the Church at Jerusalem". No trace of its existence is discoverable anywhere else; on the contrary, St. Paul speaks constantly of the rich and poor. See I Timothy 6:17 Ga 2:10 2Co 8:13,15 9:6,7 1Co 16:2 James 2:1-5 4:13.'
