Acts 5:1-7

The Message Bible MSG

1 But a man named Ananias - his wife, Sapphira, conniving in this with him - sold a piece of land,

2 secretly kept part of the price for himself, and then brought the rest to the apostles and made an offering of it.

3 Peter said, "Ananias, how did Satan get you to lie to the Holy Spirit and secretly keep back part of the price of the field?

4 Before you sold it, it was all yours, and after you sold it, the money was yours to do with as you wished. So what got into you to pull a trick like this? You didn't lie to men but to God."

5 Ananias, when he heard those words, fell down dead. That put the fear of God into everyone who heard of it.

6 The younger men went right to work and wrapped him up, then carried him out and buried him.

7 Not more than three hours later, his wife, knowing nothing of what had happened, came in.

New International Version NIV

1 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property.

2 With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet.

3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land?

4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”

5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened.

6 Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.

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