Hechos 11:29 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 11:29

Then the disciples
That were at Antioch, every man
according to his ability;
whether rich or poor, master or servant, everyone according to the substance he was possessed of; whether more or less, which was a good rule to go by:

determined to send relief to the brethren which dwelt in Judea;
either because that Agabus might have suggested, that the famine would be the severest in those parts; or because that the Christians there had parted with their substance already, in the support of one another, and for the spread of the Gospel in other parts; and therefore the Christians at Antioch, in gratitude to them for having received the Gospel, and Gospel ministers from them, resolved to help them with their temporal things, when in distress.

Hechos 11:29 In-Context

27 Por aquel tiempo unos profetas bajaron de Jerusalén a Antioquía.
28 Uno de ellos, llamado Ágabo, se puso de pie y predijo por medio del Espíritu que iba a haber una gran hambre en todo el mundo, lo cual sucedió durante el reinado de Claudio.
29 Entonces decidieron que cada uno de los discípulos, según los recursos de cada cual, enviaría ayuda a los hermanos que vivían en Judea.
30 Así lo hicieron, mandando su ofrenda a los ancianos por medio de Bernabé y de Saulo.
