Acts 5:1-8

1But there was a certain man named Ananias who, with his wife, Sapphira, sold some property.

2He brought part of the money to the apostles, claiming it was the full amount. With his wife’s consent, he kept the rest.

3Then Peter said, “Ananias, why have you let Satan fill your heart? You lied to the Holy Spirit, and you kept some of the money for yourself.

4The property was yours to sell or not sell, as you wished. And after selling it, the money was also yours to give away. How could you do a thing like this? You weren’t lying to us but to God!”

5As soon as Ananias heard these words, he fell to the floor and died. Everyone who heard about it was terrified.

6Then some young men got up, wrapped him in a sheet, and took him out and buried him.

7About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.

8Peter asked her, “Was this the price you and your husband received for your land?” “Yes,” she replied, “that was the price.”
