Kisah Para Rasul 11:29

11:29 So the disciples, each in accordance with his financial ability, ¹  decided ²  to send relief ³  to the brothers living in Judea.

[11:29]  ¹ tn So BDAG 410 s.v. εὐπορέω.

[11:29]  ² tn Or “determined,” “resolved.”

[11:29]  ³ tn Grk “to send [something] for a ministry,” but today it is common to speak of sending relief for victims of natural disasters.

[11:29]  sn The financial relief reflects the oneness of the church, meeting the needs of another (even racially distinct) community. Jerusalem, having ministered to them, now received ministry back. A later collection from Greece is noted in Rom 15:25-27, but it reflects the same spirit as this gift.
