The Believers Share What They Own

 

 

Acts 4:32-37 (New International Reader's Version)

 

32 All the believers were agreed in heart and mind. They didn't claim that anything they had was their own. They shared everything they owned. 33 With great power the apostles continued their teaching. They gave witness that the Lord Jesus had risen from the dead. And they were greatly blessed by God.

34 There were no needy persons among them. From time to time, those who owned land or houses sold them. They brought the money from the sales. 35 They put it down at the apostles' feet. It was then given out to anyone who needed it.

36 Joseph was a Levite from Cyprus. The apostles called him Barnabas. The name Barnabas means Son of Help. 37 Barnabas sold a field he owned. He brought the money from the sale. He put it down at the apostles' feet.
