Strongs On/Off
Context
4:33 With great power the apostles were giving testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus , and great grace was on them all .
4:34 For there was no one needy among them , because those who were owners of land or houses were selling them and bringing the proceeds from the sales
4:35 and placing them at the apostles ’ feet . The proceeds were distributed to each , as anyone had need .
4:36 So Joseph , a Levite who was a native of Cyprus , called by the apostles Barnabas (which is translated “son of encouragement ”),
4:37 sold a field that belonged to him and brought the money and placed it at the apostles ’ feet .
