The Judgment on Ananias and Sapphira Now a man named Ananias, together with Sapphira his wife, sold a piece of property.
He kept back for himself part of the proceeds with his wife’s knowledge; he brought only part of it and placed it at the apostles’ feet.
But Peter said,“Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back for yourself part of the proceeds from the sale of the land?
Before it was sold, did it not belong to you? And when it was sold, was the money not at your disposal? How have you thought up this deed in your heart? You have not lied to people but to God!”
When Ananias heard these words he collapsed and died, and great fear gripped all who heard about it.
So the young men came, wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him.
After an interval of about three hours, his wife came in, but she did not know what had happened.
