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."
8 And Peter responded to her, "Tell me whether you sold the land for 5:8 Lit so muchthis price?" And she said, "Yes, for 5:8 Lit so muchthat price." 9 Then Peter said to her, "Why is it that you have agreed together to put the 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."
