1 A man named Ananias and his wife Sapphira sold some property. 2 They agreed to hold back some of the money [they had pledged] and turned only part of it over to the apostles. 3 Peter asked, |Ananias, why did you let Satan fill you with the idea that you could deceive the Holy Spirit? You've held back some of the money you received for the land. 4 While you had the land, it was your own. After it was sold, you could have done as you pleased with the money. So how could you do a thing like this? You didn't lie to people but to God!| Acts 5:1-4, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
