themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the

breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and

many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All

the believers were together and had everything in common. Sellingtheir possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need.

Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts.

They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and

sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being

saved.
