And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at their homes, were partaking of food in gladness and singleness of heart;
And the heart and soul of the multitude of those who believed were one; and not even one was saying that any of the things belonging to him was his own, but they had all things common. And, with great power, were the apostles giving forth their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus; and great grace also was upon them all.

And Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is interpreted, "Son of Consolation"), a Levite, a Cyprian by birth, owning a field, having sold it, brought the money, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
