How many Jewish believers were living out of the common kitty in Acts 4?
In Acts chapter 4, thousands of Jewish believers in Jerusalem were living out of the common kitty. The multitude of them that believed were of one heart and one soul, having all things common, and none lacked as they shared their possessions.
Les explains that Acts chapter 4 continues the same arrangement seen in chapter 2, probably a year or two later, where the believers lived out of what he calls the common kitty. The multitude of them that believed—these Jews now at Jerusalem—were of one heart and one soul. None said that anything he possessed was his own; instead they took all their wealth and brought it into a common kitty. The apostles gave witness with great power of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. Neither was there any among them that lacked. Les emphasizes there are thousands of these Jewish believers now all living out of that common kitty, and he imagines it was a pretty big chunk of money.
And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
