Atos 4:35

35 E se repartia a qualquer um que tivesse necessidade.

Atos 4:35 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 4:35

And laid them down at the apostles' feet
Showing great veneration and respect to the apostles, and a sort of neglect and contempt of their worldly substance; and signifying that they entirely delivered them to the apostles, and subjected them to their disposal:

and distribution was made unto every man, according as he had need;
though they had all things in common, yet there was an order observed; a man might not go to the common stock and take out of it what he would; but as all was committed to the care of the apostles, and was in their power; the distribution was made by them, to every man, to the original proprietors, as well as to others, and that not as much as a man would have, or he might crave; but as much as he needed, for the present, of which the apostles were the judges.

Atos 4:35 In-Context

33 Com grande poder os apóstolos davam testemunho da ressurreição do Senhor Jesus, e em todos eles havia abundante graça.
34 Pois não havia entre eles necessitado algum; porque todos os que possuíam terras ou casas, vendendo-as, traziam o preço do que vendiam e o depositavam aos pés dos apóstolos.
35 E se repartia a qualquer um que tivesse necessidade.
36 então José, cognominado pelos apóstolos Barnabé (que quer dizer, filho de consolação), levita, natural de Chipre,
37 possuindo um campo, vendeu-o, trouxe o preço e o depositou aos pés dos apóstolos.
