Acts 4:32-37

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 ¹all things were common property to them.

33 And ²with great power the apostles were giving ³testimony 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 ⁴would sell them and bring the proceeds of the sales

35 and ⁵lay them at the apostles' feet, and they would be ⁶distributed to each as any had need.

36 Now Joseph, a Levite of ⁷Cyprian birth, who was also called ⁸Barnabas by the apostles (which translated means Son of ⁹Encouragement ),

37 and who owned a tract of land, sold it and brought the money and ¹⁰laid it at the apostles' feet.
