Acts 4:32–37 (ESV)

32 Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common.

Acts 4:32–37 provides us with another summary of the life of believers in Jerusalem, with a special focus on the sharing of material resources. Unlike the earlier summary (Acts 2:42–47), no mention is made of common meals or worship gatherings. The description of the pattern in the early church (Acts 4:32–35) is followed by two examples of what things looked like in practice, one negative and one positive (Acts 4:36 – 5:11).1
