5:1 The death of Ananias and Sapphira
5 But in contrast, a couple named Ananias and Sapphira sold a property 2 but agreed together to hide some of the proceeds. So Ananias brought a smaller amount and put it down in front of the missionaries. 3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your mind such that you would lie to the holy spirit and keep aside some of the proceeds of the property? 4 Wasn’t it yours before it was sold? And even when it was sold, the money was still yours. Why did you decide to handle it like this? It wasn’t people that you’re lying to, but God.” 5 When Ananias heard that, he fell down and stopped breathing. Everyone who heard about it felt very afraid, 6 and the young men there stood up and covered his body, carried it out, and buried him.
7 Three hours later, Ananias’ wife came in, not knowing anything about what had happened. 8 Peter checked, “Is it true that you guys sold the property for such-and-such an amount?”
“Yes, for that amount,” she replied.
9 But Peter said to her, “Why did the two of you agree to test the spirit of the master? The guys who just buried your husband are just out the door, and they’ll carry you out as well.” 10 Sapphira immediately fell down in front of him and stopped breathing. Then the young men came in and found her dead, so they took her body out and buried her with her husband. 11 So the entire assembly of believers became very afraid, along with every else who heard about these events.
