The Believers Share Their Belongings

32 Now the hearts and souls of the multitude of believers were one, and no one was saying that any of [fn]their belongings was his own, but everything they owned was held in common. 33 With great power the apostles were giving testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. 34 There was no one needy among them, for all who owned plots of land or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold. 35 They laid the money at the feet of the apostles, and the proceeds were distributed to anyone who had need. 36 [fn]Joses, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means “Son of Encouragement”), a Levite and Cypriot by birth, 37 also sold a field he owned and then brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet.
