45 Y vendían las posesiones, y las haciendas, y las repartían a todos, según la necesidad de cada uno.

Hechos 2:45 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 2:45

And sold their possessions and goods.
&c.] Their houses and lands, their fields and vineyards, their goods, moveable or immoveable:

and parted them to all men;
that were of their society, not to others:

as every man had need:
the rich sold their estates, and divided them among the poor, or gave them such a portion thereof as their present exigencies required. This was done by Jews, and by Jews only; who, when they embraced the Gospel of Christ, were informed that the destruction of their city, and nation, was at hand; and therefore they sold their estates before hand, and put them to this use; which was necessary to be done, both for the support of the Gospel in Judea, and for the carrying and spreading of it among the Gentiles: but is not to be drawn into a precedent, or an example in after times; nor is ever any such thing proposed to the Christian churches, or exhorted to by any of the apostles.

Hechos 2:45 In-Context

43 Y toda persona tenía temor; y muchas maravillas y señales eran hechas por los apóstoles.

44 Y todos los que creían estaban juntos; y tenían todas las cosas comunes;

45 Y vendían las posesiones, y las haciendas, y las repartían a todos, según la necesidad de cada uno.

46 Y perseverando unánimes cada día en el Templo, y partiendo el pan en las casas, comían juntos con alegría y con sencillez de corazón,

47 alabando a Dios, y teniendo gracia con todo el pueblo. Y el Señor añadía cada día a la Iglesia los que habían de ser salvos.
