Acts 5:1–10

But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, ^2aAnd kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and ^blaid it at the apostles’ feet. ³But Peter said, Ananias, why hath ^cSatan ^dfilled thine heart ^||to lie to ^fthe Holy Ghost, and to ^akeep back part of the price of the land? ⁴Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou ^econceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but ^funto God. ⁵And Ananias hearing these words ^gfell down, and gave up the ghost: ^hand great fear came on all them that heard these things. ⁶ⁱAnd the young men arose, ^jwound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. ⁷And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. ⁸And Peter ^kanswered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. ⁹Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to ^kktempt ^fthe Spirit of the Lord? behold, ^lthe feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. ¹⁰Then ^gfell she down straightway at his feet, and ^gyielded up the ghost: and ⁱthe young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.
