Acts 4:32-35

Acts 4:32-35

[32] And  the multitude  of them that believed  of one heart  and  soul:  neither  any  of them that ought  of the things which he  his own;  but  they  common.  [33] And  with great  power  gave  the apostles  witness  of the resurrection  of the Lord  Jesus:  and  great  grace  upon  them  all.  [34] Neither  was  there any  among  them  that lacked:  for  as many as  were  possessors  of lands  or  houses  sold them,  and brought  the prices  of the things that were sold,  [35] And  laid them down  at  the apostles'  feet:  and  distribution was made  unto every man  according  as  he had  need. 

What does Acts 4:32-35 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

This brief pericope illustrates what Luke wrote earlier in Acts 2:44-46 about the early Christians sharing and selling their possessions as well as giving verbal witness. Luke recorded this description to emphasize the purity and unity in the church that resulted from the Spirit"s filling ( Acts 4:31).
