4:27 “For indeed both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, assembled together in this city against 1 your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, 2 4:28 to do as much as your power 3 and your plan 4 had decided beforehand 5 would happen. 4:29 And now, Lord, pay attention to 6 their threats, and grant 7 to your servants 8 to speak your message 9 with great courage, 10 4:30 while you extend your hand to heal, and to bring about miraculous signs 11 and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” 4:31 When 12 they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken, 13 and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak 14 the word of God 15 courageously. 16
4:32 The group of those who believed were of one heart and mind, 17 and no one said that any of his possessions was his own, but everything was held in common. 18 4:33 With 19 great power the apostles were giving testimony 20 to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was on them all. 4:34 For there was no one needy 21 among them, because those who were owners of land or houses were selling 22 them 23 and bringing the proceeds from the sales 4:35 and placing them at the apostles’ feet. The proceeds 24 were distributed to each, as anyone had need. 4:36 So Joseph, a Levite who was a native of Cyprus, called by the apostles Barnabas (which is translated “son of encouragement”), 25 4:37 sold 26 a field 27 that belonged to him and brought the money 28 and placed it at the apostles’ feet.
