Thematic Bible



But, a certain man, Ananias by name, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it; and, bringing a certain part, at the feet of the Apostles, he laid it. But Peter said - Ananias! wherefore did Satan fill thy heart, that thou shouldst deal falsely with the Holy Spirit, and keep back part of the price of the field? read more.
While it remained, was it not, as thine own, it remained? and, when sold, was it not, in thine own authority, that it still continued? Why was it that thou didst contrive in thy heart this deed? Thou hast not dealt falsely with men but, with God. And, as Ananias heard these words, he fell, and expired. And there came great fear upon all that heard; But the young men, rising up, wrapped him about, and, bearing him forth, buried him. And it came to pass, after about three hours interval, that his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in. And Peter began to say unto her - Tell me! was it, for so much, ye gave up the field? And she said - Yea! for so much. And, Peter, said unto her - Why was it agreed by you to put to the proof the Spirit of the Lord? Lo! the feet of them that have buried thy husband, are at the door, and they shall bear thee forth. And she fell instantly at his feet, and expired. And the young men, coming in, found her dead; and, bearing her forth, they buried her with her husband.
