Acts 5:5-10

5When Ananias heard these words he collapsed and died, and great fear gripped all who heard about it.

6So the young men came, wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him.

7After an interval of about three hours, his wife came in, but she did not know what had happened.

8Peter said to her, “Tell me, were the two of you paid this amount for the land?” Sapphira said, “Yes, that much.”

9Peter then told her, “Why have you agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look! The feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out!”

10At once she collapsed at his feet and died. So when the young men came in, they found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
