A certayne man named Ananias with Saphira his wyfe solde a possession
2
and kepte awaye parte of the pryce (his wyfe also beynge of counsell) and brought a certayne parte and layde it doune at the Apostles fete.

Then sayde Peter: Ananias how is it that Satan hath filled thyne hert that thou shuldest lye vnto the holy goost and kepe awaye parte of the pryce of the lyvelod:
4
Pertayned it not vnto the only and after it was solde was not the pryce in thyne awne power? How is it that thou hast coceaved this thinge in thyne herte? Thou hast not lyed vnto men but vnto God.
5
When Ananias herde these wordes. he fell doune and gave vp the goost. And great feare came on all the that these thinges hearde.

And the yonge men roose vp and put him a parte and caryed him out and buryed him.
