ACTS 4:32
Now the whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no
one claimed private ownership of any possessions, but everything they owned was
held in common. 33 With great power the apostles gave their testimony to the
resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. 34 There was
not a needy person among them, for as many as owned lands or houses sold them
and brought the proceeds of what was sold. 35 They laid it at the apostles’
feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need. 36 There was a Levite, a
native of Cyprus, Joseph, to whom the apostles gave the name Barnabas (which
means “son of encouragement”). 37 He sold a field that belonged to him, then
brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
6: 7 The
word of God continued to spread; the number of the disciples increased greatly
in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith.
