Acts 4:29-34

²⁹And now, God, you heard the bad things they reckon they will do to us. We are your workers. Please help us to not be frightened, and help us to keep telling everyone about Jesus.

³⁰Show everyone your great power. Make sick people better. Let us do powerful things with the power of Jesus, your special worker. Then everyone will know that we are telling them the true story.”

³¹After they finished praying God shook the house that they were meeting in, and the Holy Spirit went into them all and filled them. They started telling everyone God’s message about Jesus, and they weren’t frightened of anyone.

³²All those people that believed in Jesus felt the same way about their things. They shared everything. They never said, “Those things are mine, you can’t have them.” No, they reckoned everything belonged to everyone.

³³At the same time the close followers of Jesus talked in a powerful way and told everyone, “Our leader Jesus is alive again.” And God was good to his followers and gave them everything they needed.

³⁴All those Christians had everything they needed. Nobody was poor or hungry. You see, sometimes Christians that owned farm land or houses sold them and got some money, and gave it to the close followers of Jesus, and those close followers gave that money to anyone that needed it.
