There were added that day about three thousand souls. 002:042 They continued steadfastly in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer. 002:043 Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. 002:044 All who believed were together, and had all things in common. 002:045 They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need. 002:046 Day by day, continuing steadfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart, 002:047 praising God, and having favor with all the people.
