John Trapp Complete Commentary - Acts 2:44

44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; Ver. 44. Were together ] There is a special tie to constancy in the communion of saints and community of supplies. And had all things common ] This was voluntary, not necessary. Non fuit praeceptum, sed susceptum, saith Piscator. read more

John Wesley

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Acts 2:42

And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.And they continued steadfast — So their daily Church communion consisted in these four particulars: 1. Hearing the word; 2. Having all things common; 3. Receiving the Lord's Supper; 4. Prayer. Ye diff'rent sects, who all declare, Lo here is Christ, and Christ is there; Your stronger proofs divinely give, And show me where the Christians live! read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 2:42

42. Steadfastly Though the conversion was sudden, the perseverance was steadfast. Apostles’ doctrine The apostles’ instruction. As yet no Gospels were written for them to read, and they listened to and studied the oral teachings of the apostles as their living Gospels. See our vol. ii, pp. 5, 6. Theirs was that pregnant faith in the unknown whole of the apostolic Christianity from which ready belief in its details of truth was produced. Believe, in order that you may understand, and soon... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 2:43

43. Fear came upon every soul This refers to the nearest margin of population outside the Church. There appeared something so supernatural upon these “Nazarenes,” their doctrines of judgment upon unbelievers, and the wonders and signs done by the apostles combined, as to hush the mockers and stay the hand of persecutors. The Church had power and peace. read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 2:44

44. Together Not residing together, but united together, having their common family reunions at their agapes. All things common Common not by joint ownership, but by freedom of use. On this special liberality we may note, 1. It partly arose from the non-resident or pilgrim character of a large part of the converts. (See note on Acts 2:5.) 2. It was not an obligatory rule; the laws of ownership or property were not disturbed or questioned. Even Ananias might have kept all his lands... read more
