Originating in the Latin translation of the Acts of the Apostles, altered forms of the slogan were applied as a legal maxim in canon law and later in secular law. The phrase was also a central inspiration for Christian communism. Origin derives from Acts 2:44 and 4:32 in the Christian Bible. The standard Koine Greek texts of the New Testament describe the Early Christians of the Apostolic Age as "having all things in common" ( grc-gre, εἶχον ἅπαντα κοινά, eîchon hápanta koiná). after the miracles of Pentecost while the apostles celebrated Shavuot in Jerusalem shortly after Jesus's crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension.
