At the Apostles Feet?

The apostle brought the gospel with power. ... Those who were able financially brought back provisions and laid them at the apostle's feet, so the apostle could distribute the money according to people's needs. That was not the apostle's money to keep. It was money to take care of everyone who had need.

Why was money laid at the apostles feet?

It is recorded in Acts 4:34-35 that there were no needy ones among them because those who owned lands or houses would sell their property and bring the proceeds from the sales and lay them at the apostles' feet for distribution to anyone as he had a need.
