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 poder; y gran gracia era sobre todos ellos.

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

35 y lo ponían a los pies de los apóstoles; y era repartido a cada uno de acuerdo a su necesidad.

36 Entonces José, que fue llamado de los apóstoles por sobrenombre, Bernabé, (que es interpretado, Hijo de consolación) levita, natural de Chipre,

37 como tuviese una heredad, la vendió, y trajo el precio, y lo puso a los pies de los apóstoles.
