In the New Testament, who demonstrated radical generosity by offering to give half of his possessions to the poor?

Correct Answer

C) Zacchaeus

Though Zacchaeus was a tax collector known for taking advantage of others, his encounter with Jesus transformed him. In Luke 19:8, he declared, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.” His story reminds us that generosity is more than just giving—it’s a response to God’s grace that changes lives, including our own.
