002:036 "Therefore let the whole House of Israel know beyond

002:045 They sold their lands and other property, and distributed
the proceeds among all, according to every one's necessities.
002:046 And, day by day, attending constantly in the Temple with one accord,
and breaking bread in private houses, they took their meals
