Acts 5:1-10

1 But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property, 2 and ^akept back some of the price for himself, with his wife’s ^{▼▼ Or collusion}full knowledge, and bringing a portion of it, he ^claid it at the apostles’ feet. 3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has ^dSatan filled your heart to lie ^eto the Holy Spirit and to ^fkeep back some of the price of the land? 4 “While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not ^{▼▼ Or in your authority}under your control? Why is it that you have ^{▼▼ Lit placed}conceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but ⁱto God.” 5 And as he heard these words, Ananias ^jfell down and breathed his last; and ^kgreat fear came over all who heard of it. 6 The young men got up and ^lcovered him up, and after carrying him out, they buried him.

7 Now there elapsed an interval of about three hours, and his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 And Peter responded to her, “Tell me whether you sold the land ^{▼▼ Lit for so much
,} ⁿfor such and such a price?” And she said, “Yes, ^{▼▼ Lit for so much}that was the price.” 9 Then Peter said to her, “Why is it that you have agreed together to ^pput ^qthe Spirit of the Lord to the test? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out as well.” 10 And immediately she ^rfell at his feet and breathed her last, and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
