Acts 4:32-37

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

The Believers Sell Property To Help Any In Need Among Them

³² Now the heart and soul of the multitude of the ones having believed was one. And not even one of them was saying that any of the things belonging to him were his own, but all things were common^[a] to them. ³³ And with great power, the apostles were rendering^[b] their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all— ³⁴ for there was not even someone in-need among them. For all-who were owners of lands or houses, selling them, were bringing the proceeds of the things being sold ³⁵ and laying it at the feet of the apostles. And it was being distributed to each one as anyone was having a need.
