1 Now a certain married couple named Ananias and Sapphira sold a piece of property
2 and brought [only] a part of the selling price and gave it to the apostles; but the man and his wife had kept this a secret.
3 But Peter said to Ananias, "Why has Satan filled your heart [causing you] to deceive the Holy Spirit by keeping back part of the selling price of the land [while representing it as the full price]?
4 While you owned it, was it not yours? Then after you sold it, did you not [still] have control over [what you did with] the money? Why did you decide in your heart to do such a thing? You [really] have not lied to men, but to God [about this matter]."
5 When Ananias heard these words he fell dead [instantly] and his spirit left his body, [causing] everyone who heard [about it] to be gripped with fear.
6 Then young men wrapped up his body and took him out and buried him.
7 About three hours later Sapphira came in, not knowing what had happened [to her husband].
8 And Peter said to her, "Tell me, did you sell the land for such and such a price?" She answered, "Yes, we did."
9 Then Peter said to her, "Why did you agree together [with your husband] to put the Holy Spirit of the Lord to the test? Look, the ones who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out [to bury you, too]."
10 And instantly she fell dead right in front of him, and her spirit left her body. [Just then the] young men came in and found her dead. They carried her out and buried her with her husband.
