Commentary on Acts 2:45
Theological / DevotionalSold. Rather, “were selling,” or “used to sell.” The sales took place as special occasions of distress called for expenditure of funds to assist those in need.
Possessions. Gr. ktemata, “possessions,” in the sense of fixed property, such as land.
Goods. Gr. huparxeis, “possessions,” in the sense of movable property, personal possessions.
Parted. That is, “divided up,” “distributed.” They distributed the proceeds of the sale of their possessions.
To all. That is, to all the believers.
As every man had need. Rather, “according as anyone had need.” The words imply judicious discrimination. Help was dependent upon the degree of need. The was soon prepared for systematic aid (see on ch. 6:1-6).
