Acts 4:23-35

²³And being let go, they came to their own company, and related all that the chief priests and ancients had said to them.

²⁴Who having heard it, with one accord lifted up their voice to God, and said: Lord, thou art he that didst make heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.

²⁵Who, by the Holy Ghost, by the mouth of our father David, thy servant, hast said: Why did the Gentiles rage, and the people meditate vain things?

²⁶The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes assembled together against the Lord and his Christ.

²⁷For of a truth there assembled together in this city against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel,

²⁸To do what thy hand and thy counsel decreed to be done.

²⁹And now, Lord, behold their threatenings, and grant unto thy servants, that with all confidence they may speak thy word,

³⁰By stretching forth thy hand to cures, and signs, and wonders to be done by the name of thy holy Son Jesus.

³¹And when they had prayed, the place was moved wherein they were assembled; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spoke the word of God with confidence.

³²And the multitude of believers had but one heart and one soul: neither did any one say that aught of the things which he possessed, was his own; but all things were common unto them.

³³And with great power did the apostles give testimony of the resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord; and great grace was in them all.

³⁴For neither was there any one needy among them. For as many as were owners of lands or houses, sold them, and brought the price of the things they sold,

³⁵And laid it down before the feet of the apostles. And distribution was made to every one, according as he had need.
