Acts 4:33

Acts 4:33

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.
