"Jesus was a poor man, "hath not where to lay his head" (Luke 9:58). For some three years he traveled about, much of the time with a considerable entourage; and at least twice organized large preaching expeditions. In part they lived on the hospitality of the people (Matthew 10:11). He received offerings from the well-to-do, and others (Luke 8:3). From the multitudes of followers, and of the sick that he had healed, he could have amassed a fortune and lived like a king, if he had so chosen. But he lived and died in poverty."
