Did our Lord ever say it is better to give.

 Acts20:35NIV" In everything I did I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak,remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said:'it is more blessed to give than to receive.'"

Recently some atheist apologists have taken issue with our beloved brother Paul's paraphrase of our lords teaching. Where in the gospels (they ask) is there any record of Jesus saying any such thing? I don't expect the following to have much purchase among the more hypercritical members of that camp, but hopefully some of the more measured constituents of the tribe would be edified.

Luke14:13,14NIV"But when you give a banquet,invite the poor,the crippled,the lame,the blind,and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you,you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous".
