11:29-30 The upshot of Agabus’s prophecy was that the believers in Antioch decided to make a contribution to the Jewish believers—the brothers and sisters—in Judea. The believers in Antioch gave as generously as they could and committed the responsibility for this financial aid to leaders they trusted, namely, to Barnabas and his fellow worker Saul. This unified love and support of Christians for one another was a tangible demonstration of the difference Christ had made in their lives. Paul describes this visit in his letter to the Galatians (Gal 2:1-10).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῶν & μαθητῶν καθὼς εὐπορεῖτό τις, ὥρισαν ἕκαστος αὐτῶν & πέμψαι
˱of˲_the & disciples as /was/_prospering anyone designated each ˱of˲_them & /to/_send
The implication is that while some of the disciples were prospering greatly but others were struggling financially, every one of them resolved to send something according to his own means. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [while some of the believers in Antioch were rich and others were poor, every one of them resolved to send what they could afford]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τοῖς & ἀδελφοῖς
˱to˲_the & brothers
Luke is using the term brothers to mean people who share the same faith. Alternate translation: [to their fellow believers]
