Actes 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.

Actes 5:2 In-Context

1 Or, un homme, nommé Ananias, avec Saphira sa femme, vendit une possession;
2 Et il retint une part du prix, de concert avec sa femme, et il en apporta le reste, et le mit aux pieds des apĂ´tres.
3 Mais Pierre lui dit: Ananias, pourquoi Satan s'est-il emparé de ton cour, que tu aies menti au Saint-Esprit, et détourné une part du prix de la terre?
4 Si tu l'eusses gardée, ne te demeurait-elle pas? et l'ayant vendue, son prix n'était-il pas en ton pouvoir? Comment as-tu résolu cette action dans ton cour? Ce n'est pas aux hommes que tu as menti, mais à Dieu.
5 Ananias, Ă  l'entendue de ces paroles, tomba, et rendit l'esprit; ce qui causa une grande crainte Ă  tous ceux qui en entendirent parler.
