Jesus Charged The Disciples To Become Poor, But They Eventually Objectified The Poor As "Other"

James, Cephas and John, those esteemed as pillars, gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship when they recognized the grace given to me. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised. All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I had been eager to do all along.

-- Galatians 2:9f.

So you cannot become my disciple without giving up everything you own.

-- Luke 14:33
