Acts 4:31-37

31 And when they had prayed, ¹the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and ²they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and ³continued to speak the word of God with boldness.

They Had Everything in Common

32 Now the full number of those who believed were of ⁴one heart and ⁵soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but ⁶they had everything in common.

33 And with great ⁷power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and ⁸great grace was upon them all.

34 ⁹There was not a needy person among them, for ¹⁰as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold

35 and ¹¹laid it at the apostles’ feet, and ¹²it was distributed to each as any had need.

36 Thus Joseph, who was also called by the apostles Barnabas (which means ¹³son of encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus,

37 sold a field that belonged to him and brought the money and ¹⁴laid it at the apostles’ feet.
