On Acts 2:44 –
“The particle which expresses contingency is here used. It was not an actual distribution of all their goods, but a treasuring up whatever need there might be to any, and a supplying of necessities from this common fund. Gieseler remarks that it is not a community of goods, but a spontaneous arrangement of property, according to the precept in Luke 12:33, ‘Sell all ye have and give alms,’ &c.”– Melancthon W. Jacobus, Notes – Critical and Explanatory – on the Acts of the Apostles, 84.
