Is there any verse in the Bible in which Jesus encouraged Christians to pay Tithe? Is there a record of any first century Christian who paid Tithe to Jesus or his apostles? Is tithing a legacy for Christians?

That's not the issue from my own point of view. If Jesus didn't condemn tithe, it means that he's in agreement with it. I will continue paying it. If you think that you must do what the disciples did and stop where they stopped, I want to see you walk on top of water as recorded.

If you keep paying Tithe then it means that you are not a Christian. Jesus fulfilled that law and it is now useless.
Colossians 2:13, 14 ...He (Jesus) kindly forgave us all our trespasses 14 and erased the handwritten document that consisted of decrees and was in opposition to us. He has taken it out of the way by nailing it to the torture stake.

Hebrews 8:13 In his saying “a new covenant,” he has made the former one obsolete...

John 13:34 I am giving you a new commandment

Galatians 6:2 Go on carrying the burdens of one another, and in this way you will fulfill the law of the Christ

The former one was called the law of Moses and in it contains the command to tithe. The new one is the law of the Christ and it contains the command to love. It is no longer by written law but by the heart.

Jesus erased the old law when he died for us. And there are no more Levites to collect any Tithe.

Acts 4:36-37 shows that after Jesus' death the Levites started owning properties which was against the law of Moses. Deuteronomy 18:1 "...the whole tribe of Levi--are to have no allotment or inheritance with Israel. They shall live on the food offerings presented to the LORD, for that is their inheritance.
Acts 4:36 So Joseph, who was also called by the apostles Barʹna·bas+ (which means, when translated, “Son of Comfort”), a Levite, a native of Cyʹprus, 37 owned a piece of land, and he sold it and brought the money and deposited it at the feet of the apostles.
