Ananias and Sapphira

5 But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property, ² and ^(A)kept back some of the price for himself, with his wife’s ^[a]full knowledge. And bringing a portion of it, he ^(B)laid it at the apostles’ feet. ³ But Peter said, “Ananias, why has ^(C)Satan filled your heart to lie ^(D)to the Holy Spirit and to ^(E)keep back some of the price of the land? ⁴ While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not ^[b]under your authority? Why is it that you laid this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but ^(F)to God.” ⁵ And as he heard these words, Ananias ^(G)fell down and breathed his last; and ^(H)great fear came over all who heard. ⁶ And the young men rose up and ^(I)wrapped him up, and after carrying him out, they buried him.

⁷ Now there was an interval of about three hours, and his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. ⁸ And Peter responded to her, “Tell me whether you were paid ^(J)this much for the land?” And she said, “Yes, that much.” ⁹ Then Peter said to her, “Why is it that you have agreed together to ^(K)put ^(L)the Spirit of the ^[c]Lord to the test? Behold, the feet of those who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out as well.” ¹⁰ And immediately she ^(M)fell at his feet and breathed her last, and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband. ¹¹ And ^(N)great fear came over the whole church, and over all who heard these things.
