According to polls, most people believe Jesus said: “From each according to his ability; to each according to his needs.”

According to polls, most people believe Jesus said: “From each according to his ability; to each according to his needs.”

That specific phrase was popularized by Karl Marx, but the thought does come from the New Testament:

"And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need." (Acts 4:32-35).
