ACTS 11:29 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judea:”
The disciples, each according to his ability, decided to provide help for the brothers and sisters living in Judea.—the church's response to prophetic word is immediate and practical: material relief. The phrase 'each according to his ability' (katho tis eporeueto, literally 'as anyone was able') echoes communist-ideal language from Acts 2:44; economic sharing flows from eschatological expectation. 'Brothers and sisters living in Judea' emphasizes familial obligation across geographic distance.
