The Greek verb diadidōmi means to distribute, give out to a number of people, or divide among many. It appears in the feeding of the five thousand (John 6:11), where Jesus distributed the loaves; in Luke 11:22 about dividing plunder; and in Acts 4:35 describing the distribution of goods to needy believers in the early church.
The three uses of diadidōmi in the New Testament together tell a profound story. Jesus distributing bread to thousands models divine abundance — the one who created all things gives generously and there is more than enough. The early church distribution in Acts 4 models this same generosity, as those with resources gave so that none would be in need — a community reflecting the character of its Lord. The distribution of the spoils in Luke 11 frames spiritual victory: when the strong man (Satan) is overcome, his goods are distributed. The gospel itself is a distribution — the riches of Christ given out to all who will receive.
