Acts 5:1-4 ▼

1 Now a certain man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a property,

2 and he kept back from the proceeds, also the wife being aware of it, and having brought a certain portion, he laid it at the feet of the apostles.

3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why did Satan fill your heart for you to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back from the proceeds of the land?

4 Remaining, did it not remain yours? And having been sold, was it not in your own authority? Why did you purpose this deed in your heart? You did not lie to men but to God!”
