1 But a man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a piece of property.
2
However, he kept back part of the proceeds with his wife's knowledge, and brought a portion of it and laid it at the apostles' feet.
3
Then Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the proceeds from the field?
4
Wasn't it yours while you possessed it? And after it was sold, wasn't it at your disposal? Why is it that you planned this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God!"
5
When he heard these words, Ananias dropped dead, and a great fear came on all who heard.
6
The young men got up, wrapped [his body], carried him out, and buried him.
