Acts 4:32-37 - The Believers Share All Things In Common

³² Now there was but one heart and soul in the vast number of those who had become believers, and not one of them claimed that anything that he had was his own, but they shared everything that they had as common property. ³³ So with great power the apostles continued to give their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God's favor rested richly on them all. ³⁴ For none of them was in want, for as many of them as were owners of farms or houses proceeded to sell them, one by one, and continued to bring the money received for the things sold ³⁵ and to put it at the disposal of the apostles; then distribution was continuously made to everyone in proportion to his need.

³⁶ Now Joseph, a Levite, a native of Cyprus, who by the apostles was named Barnabas, which means Son of Encouragement, ³⁷ sold the farm he had and brought the money and put it at the disposal of the apostles.
