Atos 5:2 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 5:2

And kept back part of the price
At which the possession was sold; he reserved it for his own use, after he had given out that he sold it for the service of the church:

his wife also being privy to it;
to this private reserve:

and brought a certain part;
whether the greater part, or an equal part, half of it, or a lesser part; some little part of it, so the phrase seems to signify, is not certain:

and laid it at the apostles' feet;
as the rest did, thereby to make a show of charity, and cover the deceit.

Atos 5:2 In-Context

1 Mas um certo homem chamado Ananias, com Safira, sua mulher, vendeu uma propriedade,
2 e reteve parte do preço, sabendo-o também sua mulher; e levando a outra parte, a depositou aos pés dos apóstolos.
3 Disse então Pedro: Ananias, por que encheu SatanÔs o teu coração, para que mentisses ao Espírito Santo e retivesses parte do preço do terreno?
4 Enquanto o possuías, não era teu? e vendido, não estava o preço em teu poder? Como, pois, formaste este desígnio em teu coração? Não mentiste aos homens, mas a Deus.
5 E Ananias, ouvindo estas palavras, caiu e expirou. E grande temor veio sobre todos os que souberam disto.
