Acts 2:45 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Those proportions of their estate they set apart to this charitable work; whether they did arise out of the sale of house or land, called possessions, or of any chattels or movable estate, called here goods: but that they did not divest themselves of all property, appears in that we find soon after this, Acts 12:12, Mary the mother of St. Mark to have a house; and Lydia, after she was baptized, did not renounce any propriety in her house, Acts 16:15, but entreated St. Paul, and those who were with him, to come into her house, &c.

Acts 2:45

45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
