Jesus was Dependent on the Financial Generosity of Others.

Though Jesus spent his ministry as an itinerant preacher, staying in the homes of those who would have him, or else living outside. However, Jesus and his disciples are not only dependent upon the generosity of others to find a place to stay, but also to meet their daily needs. Jesus commands the seventy-two do accept food and drink in return for their witness to the kingdom of God (Luke 10:7), and hem instructs the twelve disciples to take no money with them in their own ministry, which suggests that they would be dependent on the generosity of others for food as well (Matthew 10:9). Jesus regularly is welcomed into the homes of a wide range of people who are willing to feed both Jesus and his followers. At other times, Jesus and his disciples appear to be gleaning (Matthew 12:1), a provision established in the Old Testament where some grain would be left on the plant during harvest for the poor to collect to meet their needs (Leviticus 19:9-10). Here again, his daily sustenance depends on provisions offered by others. At times, the generosity of others toward his mission may have been significant. John 12:6 suggests that Judas was the disciple with the responsibility of keeping the money needed for the ministry, so much money that he was able to take some from the purse without being noticed. Over this three-year span, there is no evidence that Jesus worked a normal job to earn a wage to support himself.

Jesus was dependent on the financial generosity of others. He was also God in the flesh, Lord, and Savior.
