Acts 4:25-37 ▼

25 Which by the mouth of thy seruaunt Dauid, hast sayde: Why dyd the Heathen rage, & the people imagine vayne thynges?

26 The kynges of the earth stoode vp, and the rulers came together, agaynst the Lorde, and agaynst his Christe.

27 And of a trueth, agaynst thy holye chylde Iesus, who thou hast anoynted, both Herode and also Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, gathered them selues together,

28 For to do whatsoeuer thy hande & thy counsel determined before to be done.

29 And nowe Lorde, beholde their threatnynges, & graunt vnto thy seruauntes, that with all boldensse they may speake thy worde.

30 So that thou stretch foorth thyne hande, that healyng, and signes, and wonders, be done by the name of thy holy chylde Iesus.

31 And assoone as they had prayed, the place moued where they were assembled together, and they were all fylled with the holy ghost, and they spake the worde of God boldely.

32 And the multitude of them that beleued, were of one heart, and of one soule: Neither sayde any of them, that ought of ye thynges which he possessed, was his owne: but they had all thinges common.

33 And with great power gaue the Apostles witnesse of the resurrection of the Lorde Iesu: And great grace was with them all.

34 Neither was there any among them, that lacked: For as many as were possessers of landes, or houses, solde them, & brought the price of the thynges that were solde,

35 And layed it downe at the Apostles feete: And distribution was made vnto euery man, accordyng as he had neede.

36 And Ioses, which was also called of the Apostles Barnabas (that is to say) the sonne of consolation, being a Leuite, and of the countrey of Cypers,

37 When he had lande, solde it, and layde the money downe at the Apostles feete.
