Acts 4:32
Compare all
30 by stretching out Your hand to heal, aand that signs and wonders may be done bthrough the name of cYour holy Servant Jesus.”  
31 And when they had prayed, athe place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, band they spoke the word of God with boldness.  

Sharing in All Things

32 Now the multitude of those who believed awere of one heart and one soul; bneither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.  
33 And with agreat power the apostles gave bwitness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And cgreat grace was upon them all.  
34 Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; afor all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,  
35 aand laid them at the apostles’ feet; band they distributed to each as anyone had need.  
36 And1 Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of2 Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus,  
37 ahaving land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

Acts 4:31-37

place was shaken—glorious token of the commotion which the Gospel was to make (Acts 17:6; compare Acts 16:26), and the overthrow of all opposing powers in which this was to issue.

they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and spake, etc.—The Spirit rested upon the entire community, first, in the very way they had asked, so that they "spake the word with boldness" (Acts 4:29, Acts 4:31); next, in melting down all selfishness, and absorbing even the feeling of individuality in an intense and glowing realization of Christian unity. The community of goods was but an outward expression of this, and natural in such circumstances.
