Hechos 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.

Hechos 4:35 In-Context

33 Y los apóstoles daban testimonio de la resurrección del Señor Jesús con gran esfuerzo; y gran gracia era en todos ellos.

34 Que ningún necesitado había entre ellos: porque todos los que poseían heredades ó casas, vendiéndolas, traían el precio de lo vendido,

35 Y lo ponían á los pies de los apóstoles; y era repartido á cada uno según que había menester.

36 Entonces José, que fué llamado de los apóstoles por sobrenombre, Bernabé, (que es interpretado, Hijo de consolación) Levita, natural de Cipro,

37 Como tuviese una heredad, la vendió, y trajo el precio, y púsolo á los pies de los apóstoles.
