Acts of the Apostles 5:3

In context

1But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property, 2and with her full knowledge he held back part of the price; he brought the rest and laid it at the apostles’ feet. 3Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart, so that you lied to the Holy Spirit and held back part of the price of the land? 4While it was unsold, was it not yours? And once sold, was the money not at your disposal? What made you plot this in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.” 5When Ananias heard these words he fell down and died, and great fear came over all who heard of it.
