What does Acts 4:36-37 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Luke now gave a specific instance of what he had just described in Acts 4:34-35. This reference to Barnabas is significant because it introduces him to the reader. Barnabas becomes an important character in Acts later, mainly as a missionary (apostle) and preacher. [1] Furthermore Barnabas provides a vivid contrast to Ananias in chapter5.
