But Peter said, O Ananias! why hath Satan filled thy heart that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Ghost, and secrete something from the price of the estate? it remained unsold, was it not vested in thee? and when sold, was it not in thine own power? why then hast thou determined in thine heart to do this deed? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. Then Ananias, hearing those words, sunk down and expired: and great dread fell upon all who heard these things. Then the young men arose, and swathed him up, and carrying him out, buried him. Now it came to pass at the distance of about three hours, his wife also, not knowing what had passed, came in. And Peter addressed her, Tell me, if ye sold the estate for so much? And she said, Yes, for so much. Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have conspired together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? see, the feet of them who have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. Then she fell instantly at his feet, and expired: and the young men entering, found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her with her husband.
