使徒行傳 4:23-37

23 二人既被釋放，就到會友那裡去，把祭司長和長老所說的話都告訴他們。 24 他們聽見了，就同心合意地高聲向神說：「主啊，你是造天、地、海和其中萬物的！ 25 你曾藉著聖靈，託你僕人——我們祖宗大衛的口說：『外邦為什麼爭鬧？萬民為什麼謀算虛妄的事？ 26 世上的君王一齊起來，臣宰也聚集，要抵擋主並主的受膏者。』 27 希律和本丟‧彼拉多，外邦人和以色列民，果然在這城裡聚集，要攻打你所膏的聖僕耶穌， 28 成就你手和你意旨所預定必有的事。 29 他們恐嚇我們，現在求主鑒察，一面叫你僕人大放膽量講你的道， 30 一面伸出你的手來醫治疾病，並且使神蹟奇事因著你聖僕耶穌的名行出來。」 31 禱告完了，聚會的地方震動，他們就都被聖靈充滿，放膽講論神的道。

32 那許多信的人都是一心一意的，沒有一人說他的東西有一樣是自己的，都是大家公用。 33 使徒大有能力，見證主耶穌復活，眾人也都蒙大恩。 34 內中也沒有一個缺乏的，因為人人將田產房屋都賣了，把所賣的價銀拿來， 35 放在使徒腳前，照各人所需用的分給各人。

36 有一個利未人，生在塞浦路斯，名叫約瑟，使徒稱他為巴拿巴（「巴拿巴」翻出來就是「勸慰子」）。 37 他有田地，也賣了，把價銀拿來放在使徒腳前。

Acts 4:23-37

23 And being let go, they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them. 24 So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: “Lord, You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them, 25 who by the mouth of Your servant David have said:

‘Why did the nations rage,
And the people plot vain things?
26 The kings of the earth took their stand,
And the rulers were gathered together
Against the Lord and against His Christ.’

27 “For truly against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together 28 to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done. 29 Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, 30 by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.”

31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

32 Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. 33 And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. 34 Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, 35 and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need.

36 And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus, 37 having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
