GRACE Acts 4:33-35

With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God's grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.

With great power the apostles continued to testify 
Luke 24:48  "You are witnesses of these things."

to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus 
Acts 1:21-22  "Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus was living among us, beginning from John's baptism to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of his resurrection."

And God's grace was so powerfully at work in them all

Acts 2:45  They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.

and put it at the apostles' feet 
Acts 4:37  ... sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles' feet.
Acts 5:2  With his wife's full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles' feet.

and it was distributed to anyone who had need 
Acts 6:1  In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.
