²⁹ And ^[a]now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant it to Your bond-servants to ^(A)speak Your word with all ^(B)confidence, ³⁰ while You extend Your hand to heal, and ^[b](C)signs and wonders take place through the name of Your holy ^[c](D)servant Jesus.” ³¹ And when they had prayed, the ^(E)place where they had gathered together was shaken, and they were all ^(F)filled with the Holy Spirit and began to ^(G)speak the word of God with ^(H)boldness.

Sharing among Believers

³² And the ^[d]congregation of those who believed were of one heart and soul; and not one of them ^[e]claimed that anything belonging to him was his own, but ^(I)all things were common property to them. ³³ And ^(J)with great power the apostles were giving ^(K)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 ^(L)would sell them and bring the ^[f]proceeds of the sales ³⁵ and ^(M)lay them at the apostles’ feet, and they would be ^(N)distributed to each to the extent that any had need.

³⁶ Now Joseph, a Levite of ^(O)Cyprian birth, who was also called ^(P)Barnabas by the apostles (which translated means Son of ^[g](Q)Encouragement), ^37 [h]owned a tract of land. So he sold it, and brought the money and ^(R)laid it at the apostles’ feet.

³² And now I ^(A)entrust you to God and to ^(B)the word of His grace, which is able to ^(C)build you up and to give you ^(D)the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

⁴ God also testifying with them, both by ^(A)signs and wonders, and by ^(B)various ^[a]miracles and by ^[b](C)gifts of the Holy Spirit ^(D)according to His own will.
