Acts 4:32-37

They Had Everything in Common

32 Now the full number of those who believed were of ¹one heart and ²soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but ³they had everything in common.

33 And with great ⁴power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and ⁵great grace was upon them all.

34 ⁶There was not a needy person among them, for ⁷as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold

35 and ⁸laid it at the apostles’ feet, and ⁹it was distributed to each as any had need.

36 Thus Joseph, who was also called by the apostles Barnabas (which means ¹⁰son of encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus,
