2:44All who believed were together and held98 everything in common, 2:45and they began selling99 their property100 and possessions and distributing the proceeds101 to everyone, as anyone had need.
Footnotes
- 98 Grk “had.”
- 99 The imperfect verb has been translated as an ingressive (“began …”). Since in context this is a description of the beginning of the community of believers, it is more likely that these statements refer to the start of various activities and practices that the early church continued for some time.
- 100 It is possible that the first term for property (κτήματα, ktēmata) refers to real estate (as later usage seems to indicate) while the second term (ὑπάρξεις, huparxeis) refers to possessions in general, but it may also be that the two terms are used together for emphasis, simply indicating that all kinds of possessions were being sold. However, if the first term is more specifically a reference to real estate, it foreshadows the incident with Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5:1–11.
- 101 Grk “distributing them” (αὐτά, auta). The referent (the proceeds of the sales) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
