5:1-11 Luke is fond of balancing a positive example with a negative example. He has just recorded the remarkable story of Barnabas (4:36-37). Now Luke presents the opposite conduct of Ananias and Sapphira, who were tempted by the desire to be held in high regard. Ananias had not been forced to sell his property or to give the proceeds away. The couple’s sin was in their pretense and deception.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἀκούων δὲ & τοὺς λόγους τούτους
hearing and & ¬the words these
Luke is using the term words to mean what Peter used words to say. Alternate translation: “When he heard what Peter said”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
πεσὼν ἐξέψυξεν
/having/_fallen ˱he˲_stopped_breathing
The word translated expired means that Ananias “breathed out for the last time.” It is a mild way of saying that he died. Alternate translation: “fell down and died”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / events
πεσὼν ἐξέψυξεν
/having/_fallen ˱he˲_stopped_breathing
Ananias fell down because he died. He did not die because he fell down. To make this clear in your translation, it may be helpful to say first that he died and then that he fell. Alternate translation: “died and fell to the ground”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
ἐγένετο φόβος μέγας ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀκούοντας
became fear great on all the_‹ones› hearing
Luke describes this fear as if it were a living thing that could come onto people. Here the word fear describes a deep respect for God. Alternate translation: “everyone who heard about it came to feel a very deep respect for God”
