³⁴For there was not even anyone needy among them, because all those who were owners of plots of land or houses were selling them^* and^* bringing the proceeds of the things that were sold ³⁵and placing them^* at the feet of the apostles. And it was being distributed to each as anyone had need. ³⁶So Joseph, who was called Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated “son of encouragement”), a Levite of Cyprus by nationality, ³⁷sold a field^j that belonged to him and^* brought the money and placed it^* at the feet of the apostles.
