Acts 4:32-37

32And the 1congregation of those who believed were of one heart and soul; and not one of them 2claimed that anything belonging to him was his own, but 3all things were common property to them. 33And 4with great power the apostles were giving 5testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and abundant grace was upon them all. 34For there was not a needy person among them, for all who were owners of land or houses 6would sell them and bring the 7proceeds of the sales 35and 8lay them at the apostles’ feet, and they would be 9distributed to each to the extent that any had need.

36Now Joseph, a Levite of 10Cyprian birth, who was also called 11Barnabas by the apostles (which translated means Son of 1213Encouragement), 3714owned a tract of land. So he sold it, and brought the money and 15laid it at the apostles’ feet.
