Acts 9:27 - Additional Comments

This was the same Barnabas that sold the land, and gave all the proceeds from the sale to the apostles to distribute to the needy (Acts 4:36-37). This was in contrast to what Ananias and Sapphira did (5:1-5). Barnabas shows great character and faith then and now, as he is the one who trusted Paul, and even is brave enough to bring him to the apostles. What a disaster if Paul had been tricking them, to have access to the apostles. Somehow Barnabas knew he could now trust Paul, probably by what Paul was saying about Jesus. They must have very quickly become friends, as they travelled a lot together later.
