Acts 5:2-10

2And kept back part of the price, his wife also knowing of it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

3But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?1

4While it remained, was it not thy own? and after it was sold, was it not in thy own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? thou hast not lied to men, but to God.

5And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and died: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.

6And the young men arose, wrapped him up, and carried him out, and buried him .

7And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.

8And Peter answered to her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.

9Then Peter said to her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them who have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.

10Then she fell down immediately at his feet, and died: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.
