Footnotes

  1. 82 Grk “soul.”
  2. 83 Grk “but all things were to them in common.” Everything was held in common. The remark is not a reflection of political philosophy, but of the extent of their spontaneous commitment to one another. Such a response does not have the function of a command, but is reflective of an attitude that Luke commends as evidence of their identification with one another.
