1 But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property, 2 and kept back some of the 5:2 Lit priceproceeds for himself, with his wife’s 5:2 Or collusionfull knowledge, and bringing a portion of it, he laid it at the apostles’ feet. 3 But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back some of the 5:3 Lit priceproceeds of the land? 4 While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not 5:4 Or in your authorityunder your control? Why is it that you have 5:4 Lit placedconceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God."
