5 When Ananias heard Peter say this, he dropped dead. Everyone who heard about his death was terrified. 6 Some young men got up, wrapped his body in a sheet, carried him outside, and buried him. 7 About three hours later Ananias' wife arrived. She didn't know what had happened. 8 So Peter asked her, |Tell me, did you sell the land for that price?| She answered, |Yes, that was the price.| 9 Then Peter said to her, |How could you and your husband agree to test the Lord's Spirit? Those who buried your husband are standing at the door, and they will carry you outside for burial.| 10 Immediately, she dropped dead in front of Peter. When the young men came back, they found Sapphira dead. So they carried her outside and buried her next to her husband. Acts 5:5-10, God's Word Translation.
