And one Ananias by name, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, and he kept back a part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and bringing a certain part laid it at the apostles' feet. read more. But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart that you should lie to the Holy Spirit, and that you should keep back a part of the price of the land? Continuing unsold was it not yours, and when it was sold was it not at your disposal? Why did you propose this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God. And Ananias hearing these words fell down and expired; and great fear was upon all who heard. And the young men arose and laid him out, and having carried him out buried him. And after an interval of about three hours, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in. And Peter answered her, Tell me whether you sold the field for so much? And she said, Yes; for so much. And Peter said to her, Why have you agreed together to try the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those that buried your husband are at the door, and they shall carry you out. And she fell down immediately at his feet, and expired; and the young men coming in found her dead, and carried her out, and buried her by her husband.
And I heard the altar say, Yes, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
