Acts 4:25-37
25who 1by the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, through the mouthG4750 of our fatherG3962 DavidG1160 Your servantG3816, saidG3004, ‘2WhyG2443G5101 were the 3nationsG1484 insolentG5433, And the peoplesG2992 plottingG3191 inG2756 vainG2756?264The kingsG935 of the earthG1093 5tookG3936 their standG3936, And the rulersG758 were gatheredG4863 togetherG1909G3588G846 AgainstG2596 the LordG2962 and againstG2596 His 67ChristG5547.’ 27For trulyG1909G225 in thisG3778 cityG4172 there were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 againstG1909 Your holyG40 89ServantG3816 JesusG2424, whomG3739 You anointedG5548, bothG5037 10HerodG2264 and 11PontiusG4194 PilateG4091, alongG4862 with 12the 13GentilesG1484 and the peoplesG2992 of IsraelG2474, 28to doG4160 whateverG3745 Your handG5495 and 14purposeG1012 predestinedG4309 to occurG1096. 29And 15nowG3568, LordG2962, lookG1896 atG1896 their threatsG547, and grantG1325 it to Your bond-servantsG1401 to 16speakG2980 Your wordG3056 with allG3956 17confidenceG3954, 30whileG1722 You extendG1614 Your handG5495 to healG2392, and 1819signsG4592 and wondersG5059 takeG1096 placeG1096 throughG1223 the nameG3686 of Your holyG40 2021ServantG3816 JesusG2424.” 31And when they had prayedG1189, the 22placeG5117 whereG1722G3739 they had gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 was shakenG4531, and they were allG537 23filledG4092 with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 and began to 24speakG2980 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 with 25boldnessG3954.
32And the 26congregationG4128 of thoseG3588 who believedG4100 were of oneG1520 heartG2588 and soulG5590; and not oneG1520 of them 27claimedG3004 that anythingG5100 belongingG5225 to him was his ownG2398, but 28allG3956 thingsG3956 were commonG2839 propertyG2839 to them. 33And 29with greatG3173 powerG1411 the apostlesG652 were givingG591 30testimonyG3142 to the resurrectionG386 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, and abundantG3173 graceG5485 was upon them allG3956. 34For there was not a needyG1729 personG5100 amongG1722 them, for allG3745 whoG3745 were ownersG2935 of landG5564 orG2228 housesG3614 31would sellG4453 them and bringG5342 the 32proceedsG5092 of the salesG4097 35and 33layG5087 them at the apostles’G652 feetG4228, and they would be 34distributedG1239 to eachG1538 toG2530 theG2530 extentG2530 thatG2530 anyG5100 hadG2192 needG5532.
36Now JosephG2501, a LeviteG3019 of 35CyprianG2953 birthG1085, who was also calledG1941 36BarnabasG921 by the apostlesG652 (whichG3739 translatedG3177 meansG1510 SonG5207 of 3738EncouragementG3874), 3739ownedG5225 a tractG68 ofG68 landG68. So he soldG4453 it, and broughtG5342 the moneyG5536 and 40laidG5087 it at the apostles’G652 feetG4228.
