SCRIPTURE

"and laid them at the apostles` feet: and distribution was made unto each, according as any one had need." — Acts 4:35 (ASV)

Distribution was made (διεδιδετο). Imperfect passive of διαδιδωμ, late omega form for διεδιδοτο (the stem vowel ο displaced by ε). Impersonal use of the verb here.

According as any one had need (καθοτ αν τις χρειαν ειχεν). Imperfect active of εχω with καθοτ and αν with the notion of customary repetition in a comparative clause (Robertson, Grammar, p. 967).
