Matthew Poole and continuators on Galatians 2:10

10 Only they would that we should remember the poor , the same which I also was forward to do .

These Pillars and Apostles which have among you the greatest reputation, added no new Doctrine to us, gave us nothing new in charge; they only desired us that we would be careful wheresoever we went to make collection for the poor Christians in Iudea, who either by selling all they had to maintain the Gospel in its first plantation, or by the sharp persecution which had wasted them, or by reason of the Famine, were very low; nor was this any new thing, I had before done it▪ and was very forward to do it again, had they said nothing to us about it.
