Acts 4:25-35

25 who ¹by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David Your servant, said, '²WHY * DID THE GENTILES RAGE, AND THE PEOPLES DEVISE FUTILE THINGS?

26 '³THE KINGS OF THE EARTH TOOK THEIR STAND, AND THE RULERS WERE GATHERED TOGETHER * * AGAINST THE LORD AND AGAINST HIS ⁴CHRIST.'

27 For truly * in this city there were gathered together against Your holy ⁵servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both ⁶Herod and ⁷Pontius Pilate, along with ⁸the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,

28 to do whatever Your hand and ⁹Your purpose predestined to occur.

29 "And now, Lord, take note of their threats, and grant that Your bond-servants may ¹⁰speak Your word with all ¹¹confidence,

30 while You extend Your hand to heal, and ¹²signs and wonders take place through the name of Your holy ¹³servant Jesus."

31 And when they had prayed, the ¹⁴place where * they had gathered together was shaken, and they were all ¹⁵filled with the Holy Spirit and began to ¹⁶speak the word of God with ¹⁷boldness.

Sharing among Believers

32 And the congregation of those who believed were of one heart and soul; and not one of them claimed that anything belonging to him was his own, but ¹⁸all things were common property to them.
