Acts 2:44

42 ^aAnd they continued steadfastly in the apostles’¹ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

43 Then fear came upon every soul, and ^amany wonders and signs were done through the apostles.

44 Now all who believed were together, and ^ahad all things in common,

45 and¹ sold their possessions and goods, and ^adivided them among all, as anyone had need.

46 ^aSo continuing daily with one accord ^bin the temple, and ^cbreaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,

47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And ^athe Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.

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.'
