Acts 4:34-37

JMNT(i) 34 In fact, "there was not even anyone [p8 D E and others: Your see, not even any was continuing to subsist inherently] in persistent need (poverty-stricken; destitute; indigent) among them" [cf Deut. 15:4], for whoever (or: as many as) had been owners (possessors) of pieces of land or houses, upon from time to time selling [them], were periodically bringing the proceeds (= the money paid for the value and price) of the things being occasionally sold, 35 and they habitually placed (deposited) [them] beside the feet (= at the disposal) of the sent-forth folks. So then it was from time to time being distributed (or: given throughout): to each person in proportion to any need he would occasionally (or: routinely) have (or: for as much as someone would from time to time, or customarily, have a need). 36 Now Joseph, the one from among the sent-forth folks being surnamed "Barnabas" – which is normally being translated and interpreted "A son of comfort, consolation and encouragement (or: One who has the character and qualities of being an aid-giver and a helpful assistant; a son of a paraclete {or: the Paraclete})" – a Levite, a Cyprian by country of origin, 37 upon selling a field belonging to him, brought the money and placed (deposited) [it] beside the feet of the sent-forth folks (= set it to be at the disposal of the representatives).
