Exegesis
The prepositional phrase para tous podas tōn apostolōn {παρὰ τοὺς πόδας τῶν ἀποστόλων | pará toús pódas tôn apostólōn} describes the physical placement of the gift “at the feet” of the apostles, a spatial metaphor for deference and recognition of their authority.
In context — Acts 5:2
And he kept back for himself from the price, with the knowledge also of his wife, and having brought a certain part, he placed it at the feet of the apostles .
