1
But a certain man, Ananias by name, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
2
and put aside for himself part of the price, [his] wife also being privy to it; and having brought a certain part, laid it at the feet of the apostles.
3
But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled thy heart that thou shouldest lie to the Holy Spirit, and put aside for thyself a part of the price of the estate?
4
While it remained did it not remain to *thee*? and sold, was [it not] in thine own power? Why is it that thou hast purposed this thing in thine heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God.
5
And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and expired. And great fear came upon all who heard [it].
6
And the young men, rising up, swathed him up for burial, and having carried him out, buried him.
7
And it came to pass about three hours afterwards, that his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
8
And Peter answered her, Tell me if ye gave the estate for so much? And she said, Yes, for so much.
