Commentary on Acts 4:36

Barnabas's introduction - 'Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus' - establishes his character and credentials. The name change from Joses to Barnabas (Greek 'huios parakleseos,' son of encouragement/consolation) indicates his dominant characteristic. As a Levite, he descended from Israel's priestly tribe. Cyprus origin shows diaspora background, preparing him for later Gentile mission.
