Acts 5:4-9 While it was unsold, was not it your own? and after it was sold, was not the money at your own disposal? How did you come to think of such a thing? You have lied, not to men, but to God!"

Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ While it was unsold, was not it your own? and after it was sold, was not the money at your own disposal? How did you come to think of such a thing? You have lied, not to men, but to God!" ⁵ As Ananias heard these words, he fell down and expired; and every one who heard of it was appalled. ⁶ The young men got up, and, winding the body in a sheet, carried it out and buried it. ⁷ After an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. ⁸ "Is it true," Peter asked, addressing her, "that you sold your land for such a sum?" "Yes," she answered, "we did." ⁹ Then Peter said: "How did you come to agree to provoke the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The foot-steps of those who have buried your husband are at the door; and they will carry you out too."
