Exegesis
The verse opens with the genitive construction tou de plēthous tōn pisteusantōn {Τοῦ δὲ πλήθους τῶν πιστευσάντων | Toû de plḗ-thous tōn pis-teu-sán-tōn}, where the noun plēthous governed by the participle pisteusantōn yields “the multitude of those who believed.”
In context — Acts 4:32
The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul, and not one of them claimed that anything belonging to him was his own; rather, everything was common among them.
