Acts 5:5-10

5As soon as he heard Peter say this, Ananias fell down and he died. When people heard what had happened, they were all very afraid.

6Some young men came into the room. They put cloths around Ananias's dead body and they carried it outside. Then they buried it.

7About three hours later, Ananias's wife, Sapphira, came into the room. She did not know what had happened to her husband.

8Peter asked Sapphira, ‘Was this all the money that you and your husband received for your field?’ ‘Yes,’ Sapphira answered. ‘That was all the money that we received.’

9Peter said to her, ‘It was wrong for you and your husband to do this bad thing. You agreed together to tell a lie to the Holy Spirit of the Lord God. Listen! The men who have just buried your husband are at the door again now. They will carry your body out too.’

10Immediately, Sapphira fell down in front of Peter and she died. Then the young men came into the room. They saw that Sapphira was dead. So they carried her outside and they buried her body next to her husband.
