Acts 4:27-37

27 For truly * in this city there were gathered together against Your holy ¹servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both ²Herod and ³Pontius Pilate, along with ⁴the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,

28 to do whatever Your hand and ⁵Your purpose predestined to occur.

29 "And now, Lord, take note of their threats, and grant that Your bond-servants may ⁶speak Your word with all ⁷confidence,

30 while You extend Your hand to heal, and ⁸signs and wonders take place through the name of Your holy ⁹servant Jesus."

31 And when they had prayed, the ¹⁰place where * they had gathered together was shaken, and they were all ¹¹filled with the Holy Spirit and began to ¹²speak the word of God with ¹³boldness.

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 ¹⁴all things were common property to them.

33 And ¹⁵with great power the apostles were giving ¹⁶testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and abundant grace was upon them all.

34 For there was not a needy person among them, for all who were owners of land or houses ¹⁷would sell them and bring the proceeds of the sales

35 and ¹⁸lay them at the apostles' feet, and they would be ¹⁹distributed to each as any had need.

36 Now Joseph, a Levite of ²⁰Cyprian birth, who was also called ²¹Barnabas by the apostles (which translated means Son of ²²Encouragement ),

37 and who owned a tract of land, sold it and brought the money and ²³laid it at the apostles' feet.
