They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.
