Acts 5:3-13

3 But Peter said, "Ananias, why * has 1Satan filled your heart to lie 2to the Holy Spirit and to 3keep 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 4to God."
5 And as he heard these words, Ananias 5fell down and breathed his last; and 6great fear came over all who heard of it.
6 The young men got up and 7covered him up, and after carrying him out, they buried him.
7 Now there elapsed an interval of about three hours, and his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
8 And Peter responded to her, "Tell me whether you sold the land 8for such and such a price?" And she said, "Yes, that was the price."
9 Then Peter said to her, "Why is it that you have agreed together to 9put 10the Spirit of the Lord to the test? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out as well."
10 And immediately she 11fell at his feet and breathed her last, and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
11 And 12great fear came over the whole church, and over all who heard of these things.
