NET © Notes |
1 tn Grk “soul.” 2 tn Grk “but all things were to them in common.” sn Everything was held in common. The remark is not a reflection of political philosophy, but of the extent of their spontaneous commitment to one another. Such a response does not have the function of a command, but is reflective of an attitude that Luke commends as evidence of their identification with one another. |
