Acts 4:34--5:2
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.

a field
that belonged to him and brought the money
and placed it at the apostles’ feet.
