43 Ótta setti að hverjum manni, en mörg undur og tákn gjörðust fyrir hendur postulanna.

44 Allir þeir sem trúðu héldu hópinn og höfðu allt sameiginlegt.

45 Þeir seldu eignir sínar og fjármuni og skiptu meðal allra eftir því sem hver hafði þörf á.

44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;

45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
