Lying to the Holy Spirit
1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession. 2 And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware ofit, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet. 3 Num. 30:2; Deut. 23:21; Eccl. 5:4But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Matt. 4:10; Luke 22:3; John 13:2, 27Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? 4 While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God."
8 And Peter answered her, "Tell me whether you sold the land for so much?"
She said, "Yes, for so much."
9 Then Peter said to her, "How is it that you have agreed together Matt. 4:7; Acts 5:3, 4to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out."
