Thematic Bible



Now there was a certain man named Ananias who with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, and kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought the rest which he laid at the apostles feet. upon which Peter said, Ananias, how could satan inspire thine heart to lye to the holy ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? read more.
was not the estate your own estate? and was not the price for which it was sold, all in your own hands? how came such a design as this in your heart? thou hast not lyed unto men, but unto God. at these words Ananias fell down dead upon the spot: which struck the minds of all that heard of it with great dread. and some young men came and wound him up, then carried him out, and buried him. about the space of three hours after, his wife, not knowing what had happen'd, came in. when Peter addressing himself to her, tell me, said he, have you sold the land for such a price? yes, said she, for so much. then Peter said to her, how comes it that you have conspir'd together, to tempt the spirit of the Lord? see there at the door the men that are come from burying thy husband, and they shall carry thee out likewise. in the instant she fell down dead at his feet: and the young men came in, found her dead, carried her out, and buried her by her husband.
