sold a field that belonged to him and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

Five thousand souls converted, then added daily, the church's glory lies in multitude of believers, not mere quality. Though strangers before, when they met in Christ they became intimate as brothers of many years, unanimous in faith.

Commenting on Acts 4:32-37
John Gill Reformed Baptist
Barnabas was a Levite, and the Law forbade Levites to sell their inherited fields permanently; yet the Jewish doctors themselves allowed redemption, and once the ceremonial law was abolished, this precept no longer bound him. He sold what was lawfully his and gave the proceeds to the apostles, an act of singular devotion.
