1
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, got money for his property,
2
And kept back part of the price, his wife having knowledge of it, and took the rest and put it at the feet of the Apostles.
3
But Peter said, Ananias, why has the Evil One put it into your heart to be false to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
4
While you had it, was it not your property? and after you had given it in exchange, was it not still in your power? how has this purpose come into your mind? you have been false, not to men, but to God.
5
And at these words, Ananias went down on the earth, and his life went from him: and great fear came on all who were present.
6
And the young men went and made ready his body, and took it out, and put it in the earth.
7
And about three hours after, his wife, having no knowledge of what had taken place, came in.
