Acts 4:32-37

New American Standard Bible

Sharing among Believers

³² And the ^[a]congregation of those who believed were of one heart and soul; and not one of them ^[b]claimed that anything belonging to him was his own, but ^(A)all things were common property to them. ³³ And ^(B)with great power the apostles were giving ^(C)testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and abundant grace was upon them all. ³⁴ For there was not a needy person among them, for all who were owners of land or houses ^(D)would sell them and bring the ^[c]proceeds of the sales ³⁵ and ^(E)lay them at the apostles’ feet, and they would be ^(F)distributed to each to the extent that any had need.

³⁶ Now Joseph, a Levite of ^(G)Cyprian birth, who was also called ^(H)Barnabas by the apostles (which translated means Son of ^[d](I)Encouragement), ^37 [e]owned a tract of land. So he sold it, and brought the money and ^(J)laid it at the apostles’ feet.
