them. For from time to time, those who owned lands or houses sold them,
brought the money from the sales, and put it at the apostles' feet. It was dis-
tributed to anyone, as he [she] had need. Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus,
whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means Son of Encouragement),
sold a field he owned, brought the money, and put it at the apostles' feet.
(Acts 4:32-37)
With such great discipline the Nazareans continued to tell other
Jews about Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) message, saying that he was the last
prophet sent by God to the Jews. The words of Apostle Peter to a group
of Jews at the Temple of Solomon are reported as follows:

"Now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders…
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that
times of refreshing may come from the Lord, and that He may send the
Messiah, who has been appointed for you—even Jesus. He must remain in
heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything, as He promised
long ago through His chosen prophets. For Moses said: 'The Lord your
God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people;
you must listen to everything he tells you. Anyone who does not listen to
him will be completely cut off from among his people.' Indeed, all of the
prophets from Samuel on, as many as have spoken, have foretold these days.
And you are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with
your fathers. He [God] said to Abraham: 'Through your offspring, all peo-
ples on Earth will be blessed.' When God raised up His servant, He sent
him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked
ways." (Acts 3:17-26)
In these expressions, Peter refers to Prophet Jesus (pbuh) as a servant
of God and stresses that he is a prophet. People are told that Prophet Jesus (pbuh)
is a prophet foretold by Prophet Moses (pbuh). And furthermore, there is no

mention of a "son" of God. There is no reference to the trinity or of Prophet
Jesus' (pbuh) alleged divine status. (Surely God is beyond that!)
