4:29-31
Then they asked the Lord to consider the current threats, and their concern was not that God would stop these threats, but that He would enable His people to speak His word with great boldness. Then they asked God to stretch out His hand to “heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus”. After this the place was shaken, they were all filled with the Spirit, and they did speak the word of God boldly. May God do the same for us today.
4:32
Having described the dramatic events, the chapter closes with a description of day-to-day life in the church.

Ps 133:1 says how pleasant it is when brothers dwell together in unity. They also shared their possessions.
