All the believers were together and had everything in common.
These were Jews who sold their estates knowing Jerusalem's destruction was imminent, so they distributed what they had to support the Gospel's spread. But do not make this a standing law for the churches. The apostles never commanded it in later times, nor required it as a condition of faith.
AI summary
These first believers were diligent in the apostles' teaching, constant in prayer and the fellowship of saints, meeting daily with one accord. Where you saw one disciple, you would see more, like birds of a feather, bound by mutual affection and concern for one another's interests.
