1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession
2 and defrauded of the price, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to defraud of the price of the land?
4 Retaining it, was it not thy own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? Why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? Thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
5 Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and gave up the spirit; and great fear came on all those that heard these things.
6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out and buried him.
7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
