Acts 5:1-4

Fate of Ananias and Sapphira

1 But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property,

2 and ¹kept back some of the price for himself, with his wife's full knowledge, and bringing a portion of it, he ²laid it at the apostles' feet.

3 But Peter said, "Ananias, why * has ³Satan filled your heart to lie ⁴to the Holy Spirit and to ⁵keep back some of the price of the land?

4 "While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not under your control? Why is it that you have conceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but ⁶to God."
