13.What request did the three Apostles make of Paul, to which Paul agreed readily?

That he and Barnabas should remember the poor.

The city of Jerusalem was having economic problems at the time. No doubt the converted Jews were having special difficulties. Paul was diligent in collecting money for the poor saints of Jerusalem.

His concern is revealed in II Corinthians, Chapters Eight and Nine. Some scholars believe that Luke was the brother who travelled with Paul and administered what probably amounted to a large sum of money (II Corinthians 8:19).

God is pleased when we assist the poor (Proverbs 19:17).
